Fun fact: switch pullers weren't made for switches. They were originally made to pull small cable connectors, like how it was used in the video at about 1:40.

Lmao i literally had the same experience since my first project into this rabbit hole was upgrading my 40$ fullsize "gaming keyboard" with cheap outemu brown switches. Desoldering was such a huge pain in the ass, since i had to use a iron sucker to suck out the desoldered iron.

[@Mikehaelohim]

I sure hope they didn't use "iron" to solder it lol. If they did I am really impressed with your soldering iron ^^

[@-blueleaf-9865]

yoo the improvement on this is HELLA crazy! Good job and keep it up!

[@martinsVcm]

When you are trying to dessolder and the freaking pin does not want to get out, try soldering 😉, with a little more then needed. Clean the board to clear the flux with isopropyl alcohol. Then start dessolder again. Usually works.

[@guycxz]

I find I prefer leaving the flux on the board at least until I'm done with it. That way I already have flux applied when soldering the new switches.

[@shoobopper]

You've probably gotten this advice already but in order to be RoHS compliant certain products will instead use lead-free solder, which is much harder to work with/desolder. This can be partially remedied by reflowing the joint with your own leaded solder on top of the preexisting solder.

On Amazon I bought a 60% hot swappable based on the AK61 for a whole $12.59 dollars. The keyboard came with pudding keycaps and outemu red switches. I ended up doing a lube job on the outemu switches and ended up doing mod on the stabilizers as well. Now the typing and the feel of the keys when pressed feels more like a $80 dollar keyboard from a known brand name.

[@SwitchandClickOfficial]

Thank you!

[@friendlyfiregaming4601]

Great video! I did something similar on a cheap Amazon keyboard that turned out great. A tip for using the desoldering gun, make sure the lips of the tip are making good contact and completely seal the board. You can achieve this by holding it at 90 degrees to the board. Once that is done, wait about a half second, and pull the trigger, while rotating the tip around the pin in a circular motion. That'll clean up any extra solder that may be holding the leg in. Only spend about 3-4 seconds of applying heat to the joint at a time, else you can risk delaminating the board and causing the via to rip.

[@friendlyfiregaming4601]

EDIT: oh yeah, and if you ever rip a via, don't sweat it. Get some thin 30AWG solid core wire, scrape the coating off what is left of the trace on the PCB, and solder to the copper of the trace. Then solder to your switch leg. Pace Worldwide did an excellent video on PCB repair. Just substitute where they use copper clad or trace repair metal with the wire. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3PMZWOXpplgqpI

[@Jean-PierreLapin20YT]

My grandma bought me a keyboard on Walmart for like $43 dollars in a few months ago for playing Roblox and now i still use it but now it's for playing Minecraft on Xbox One. It is the Strategy of Monster Games. It have blue Chinese switches with no mark, and black ANSI keycaps, with a special letter that only Latin America and Spain have, the ñ. But it's painted onto the keycap, not engraved like the other keycaps. And haves RGB with a rainbow sequence, and you can choose how the RGB are going to move through the switches. 👀

[@hengary5]

finished product lookin good

[@GeneSavage]

Let's say you owned the ONN mechanical keyboard for a couple of years and really liked it: the RGB lighting, the clicky sounds, the feel of the keys, the solid heavy aluminum case, that it's full size, the braided cable, etc. However, let's say that random keys are not responding to normal pressure, and you're legally restricted from using a soldering iron because of what happened last time. Let's also say that you were looking for something about double the price, so somewhere just under $100. What mechanical keyboard would you recommend? It's frustrating because a couple of the RGB lights have gotten messed up, and like I said I'll be going along and suddenly the "h" key won't work unless I press and hold it down... then it types half a dozen "hhhhhhh"s. Now that key is working again... will it be the "B" next time? A different key? The software also is buggy, with it occasionally losing its mind and making the "W" key a backspace key and other weird nonsense. Hot swappable would be a bonus since I'm so incompetent with the soldering iron, but not a requirement. USB ports would also be a cool bonus but not make or break. I don't like wireless, I do like the clicky feel, I LOVE the RGB because my keyboard in on a drawer so often mostly or fully hidden from light. While I don't use the numberpad, I do use PrintScreen, delete, Home, arrow keys, and the F keys quite a bit. Thoughts?

[@PerplexedPearl]

Noice those keycaps my friend is SICK

[@SaveAmerica-TRUMP2024]

I knew those stock walmart keycaps looked familiar. My fist mechanical keyboard was a aukey from like 5 years ago. It had the same exact keycap set. And I still have that keyboard... lol

[@gearsfan6669]

I just got my first mechanical keyboard last month (Logitech G413 TKL SE (not used to not having a 100%)) and now I just need to figure out how to take the keycaps off without a puller and see the stems so I know which replacement keycaps to buy for WASD and ESC, it's thanks to channels like yours, Hipyotech and Glarses that I caved and got even one like this cuz mechanical seemed easier to clean and repair since I type fairly violently

[@PeenySig]

Just watched in a while ago, I’m trying to mod mine and it’s so hard. Also congratulations on 500k

[@MNYT977]

I actually have that keyboard it’s very clicky so I switched to a new sound and keyboard it was $400

[@user-wh6sp6st8s]

Thats funny. I have just done my first keyboard build ever after finding Hipyo Tech on YT. Didn't even know this was a thing. I say that to say, I bought a super cheap Eyooso board off Amazon and modded it. I used shelf liner too arbitrarily and have never seen anyone use that until now. I think it works really good with the tape mod and pbt keycaps. Sounds very nice.

[@nxtcxrrot4501]

funny thing is I have the exact keyboard 😅 I bought for 50 last month if you hold fn+ the buttons above the arrow keys you can change the mode

[@notpoggamer]

Dear Betty, I am slightly concerned for your health and safety. I noticed that you are soldering in your room with your setup. If the room doesn’t have good airflow while soldering, soldering fumes could linger afterwards, leading to inhalation of soldering fumes which could result in respiratory issues. I would recommend either having a soldering fumes extractor (I don’t know if you have any of these already in place btw), having your window open while soldering and for a short period afterwards, or soldering outside. If you read this message, thanks for putting the time in to read it. I hope this comment helped, and I don’t know if you already have a method in place to prevent/lessen inhalation of soldering fumes while not soldering.

[@SwitchandClickOfficial]

No need to worry, thank you :)

Hey switch and click it's my first time lubing switches and I have brown switches and it can get pretty loud so should I over lube or lube it a little bit

[@manitoublack]

As a user that will only use Full sized boards. And wont even consider a laptop that doesn't have a numpad. It's great to see at least 1 video that plays with modding (an admittedly trash) full sized board. But polishing a turd, is often more interesting than just another generic 60/65/... kit. Jordan.

[@Boyetto-san]

I agree. Full-size gang needs more representation in this hobby. There are a few full-size hotswap boards around now, so they wont be anywhere near this painful to mod.

[@RemedieX]

@@Boyetto-san Full-size doesn't get as much representation because the reality is the majority of people don't need full-size and it's more expensive to buy enough switches to then lube more (uses more lube too), address more stabilizers (more lube again), from putting the switches to all the mods take longer (especially if you're holee modding), and lastly buying a fullsize keycap set to go along with it, which is also more expensive. It's just not worth appeasing to the minority. I started with a $60 fullsize, but even though I use audition, premiere, and ae, I never found myself needing all the keys, and whenever I need a numpad I just take out my actual numpad which I can use wirelessly and place wherever I want. And it was cheaper to get a 60% and a numpad, instead of a fullsize. I understand the appeal of having it all in one place though.

[@Boyetto-san]

​@@RemedieX Of course I know we're a minority, but we exist. I mean, this hobby is about being custom and preference-based, and fortunately options do exist for us. I may not always use the numpad, but as someone who also has a Model M, I respect the history and aesthetics of the full-size layout. I've have a TKL and I still find myself going back to my full-size boards even if that means lubing 104 switches, Holee modding 8 stabs for it, and punching more holes into the PE foam sheet.
