More Chinese soldering wonders
AUKEY KM-G6 LED-Backlit 104-Key Mechanical Keyboard w/ Blue Switches
$31.99 w/ code DXZK8U29 AUKEY KM-G10 104-Key Mechanical Keyboard w/ Blue Switches n Round Keycaps $30.09 w/ code 3TZLFH3H (and no LEDs? - that's got to be some kind of round) Looked it over (Amazon and others) they're reviewing, blaming the keys for failing -- Outemu Blue Switches. No way. These are good keyswitches. lt's the production runs on keyboards that are ridiculously far out. All mine had a very thin solder covering for each two-keyswitch contact, loosening for intermittence. Finally pooled in more substantial, traditional-looking bubbles of solder straight across -all- the contacts. Apart from a few added features between a $150 keyboard, a little initial inconvenience prodding around, for my half-hour of extra soldering labor: Magnified soldering under a glass, which moves along at a pretty good clip once into the swing of it;- Decent soldering station also on the cheap, sub-$20 Chinese, with a suitable small tip and variable controlled temperature. Hate to say it, but these Chinese keyswitches blow my old $100 Focus mechanical keyboard clean out of the water. My little secret, that I like it now, looking to be comfortably and solidly settled in for the projected 50-70K key-press longevity, as, meanwhile, Outemu is left stuck taking heat for otherwise crappy keyswitch implementation on everybody's offbrand Chinese production runs. |
