How screwed am I?
How screwed am I?
First keyboard build; everything was going reasonably fine until I had assembled the whole thing and noticed the backspace key was not sitting right. See picture for culprit. (Not pictured: the idiot who didn’t set the stabilizer correctly) Can I reseat the stabilizer without (further) tearing this thing down to the studs? Help!
Been there. Unfortunately the only real way to fix this is to disassemble. Luckily, it looks like you have hot swap sockets for your switches. This is sooo much worse if you have to desolder all of those switches.
Oh man, I’ve had to desolder a whole board before after forgetting the stabs. Turned a one hour project into a three hour project.
That makes sense, and I suppose it could be worse.
You can try fidgeting with some tweezers and holding stuff in the right direction but it’s a bit advance. Since it’s hotswap just redo it, it’s not that bad. Or you can not use a stab. 2u stabs are barely useful.
