great video, and i plan to mod my K870T too. how did u manage to modify it so it becomes hot-swappable? do i just need to desolder the switches and solder the hot-swap sockets? are all the hot swap sockets compatible?

Yeah sounds like it sadly. If its just some keys and the same ones and not all the switches on the board its prob that switch/switches that is either bad or over lubed.Only fix is re-soldering a new switch if not hot swap or if it is then try another switch. I have the hot swap version of this board and its fine

Hi there, the ones I solder on are called Mill-Max 0305s. I would say, if your K870T is the hotswap version, they should be fine. But if you're planning to Mill-Max a soldered PCB, you would have to be on the look out for SMD compatible switches. Because the SMDs on the non-hotswap PCB are extruded and the switches requires a gap.

@@chokage3744 I used liquid silicone. Try typing keywords like "Liquid Silicone A+B" and you should have the results. Beware there are different types of liquid silicone. 50:50 and 70:30. This means the ratio between the silicone and the hardener. For mine I used 50:50 which is easier to measure. And get a measuring mug. The one I used in the video was bought from a shop that sells baking stuff. Ultimately, you can get them from Arts & Crafts shops or hardware shops too. I didn't really measure how much to use. A good practice is by emptying the bottom case (must remove battery), tape off all the gaps, lay it on a surface (make sure the bottom case sits flat), mark it then pour water until it hits the markings. Then pour the water into the measuring mug so you'll know how much liquid silicone to use.

For mods I am planning on doing the normal foam mod, tempest/tape mod, PE foam mod (between the PCB and plate) and some stab mods. Do you know if there are aftermarket cases for the K870T?

And also move the wire to the edge of the block and check if it's a 90 degree bend. Mine were slightly off, by adjusting the bend the ticking went away.

Hey, thank you so much. Did you leave your stab wires in between the plate and PCB? Or are the wires still intact with the stab housings? There is one way, by holding one end with your tweezers and try slotting the stem back. Then repeat on the other side. But you might risk damaging the stabs entirely, so I would advice you do it at your own risk. But yeah, the best and safest way is to desolder the switch and place them back properly. Perhaps you could ask a friend who has soldering knowledge to do it for you? Or try it on a sacrificial PCB? That's how I learned to do that.
