Plate mounted

Perfect! Thanks!!

Hi all,

So I was looking around ebay for a Pro Micro board and came across the following listing:

For Arduino Pro Micro ATmega32U4 5V/16M Leonardo Modul Development Board Module

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/For-Arduino-Pro-Micro-ATmega32U4-5V-16M-Leonardo-Modul-Development-Board-Module ...

Those are stabilizer inserts. You can buy them separately.

Edit: Out of stock on first link

Out of curiosity, what's with the stabs wires covered in white tape or something?

Can you please explain what it is for?

Very light, I'd say around 60g bottom out force.

That same as that of an unmodded one, because the click leaf imparts orthogonal forces during bottoming-out. It's been measured at slightly below 60 gf.

So I linear-modded one of my Alps keyboard (SKCM White).

It doesn't feel like 60gf to me ...

Hi guys, what's the bottom out force of a linear-modded SKCM White?

Hi there,

Welcome to DT.

I also had the same kind of issue you are experiencing though mine is a clicky switch.

What I did was I used it for a couple of weeks and bam, it disappeared just like that.

It's probably the individual switch chattering.

Get a replacement and see if it works, if not ...

wot? close enough!

I'm still waiting for mine as well.

Since chzel might be chiming in, I might as well relay what he told me through pm.

He was holding some of the keyboards for inspection before sending it over.

Still waiting for mine. Probably tomorrow. . Tomorrow.

Honored to be part of DT's 5th.

My interest in ALPS lead me to frequent the wiki. Good stuff I must say.

CM Storm Quickfire TK maybe?

Weird.

He has my email address which I sent to him and I have received the same email but via DT and not from other external sources. That's 2 emails but those are from the 3rd of Jan. Things are pretty quiet so far.

In for as well.

In for a GB as well!

@gogusrl,

There is a Novatouch from here: http://www.cmstore.eu/

It came out cheaper compared to KeyboardCo's pricing but not sure if tax is still payable once shipped.

@CM Bram, can you verify?

Hi,

I'm also interested.

Hi all,

Already ordered my first soldering kit.

Big thanks for all the help, especially andrewjoy for proxing.

This place is full of awesome people.

Next is my first custom board! Till then.

Kind Regards,
ImbaHue

What chisel tip should I get for the Yaxun?

Note: I'm a noob in soldering.

Thanks HzFaq! I'll start with the essentials then.

Trying to send a PM to andrewjoy but still in the outbox? weird

I'll like to get the bare minimum as much as possible

Iron + holder
Solders + flux?
Extra tip? Genuine?
Pump?

@andrewjoy Thanks mate. I'll take your offer then. PM sent.

@guk Thanks man.

Thanks DT!

I love you all. No homo!

So currently:

The Hakko from Cherry1990 link is out of my budget range. I'm thinking about <50euro for the iron, solders and holder shipped.

The one from HobbyKing doesn't ship to IE due to size/weight of the station.

The ones from the eBay won't even ship to southern Ireland. :(

I would like to ...

Another Hakko knockoff, don't know about the difference between model 936 and 936b.

This.

Ordering it now!

Thanks guys!

Edit: Apparently, they cannot ship to Ireland due to size/weight

Hi andrewjoy,

I'm just in it to try and fix a couple of switches off my board and maybe, to prepare myself for my first custom.

Hi Matt_,
All cool man. I figured I also need a holder. Yeah, I need to get those stuff somewhere closer.

Kind Regards,
-ImbaHue

Thanks for the suggestion Matt_.

I canceled my order from Amazon knowing I could get something better. Still looking at eBay though.

I haven't done a full soldering job before (except for linking wires together) but I could always spare some time to practice so I won't f-up the board.

I'll ...

Thanks scottc, I'll look it up.

@andrewjoy, yep I'm from the north of the Southern Ireland.

Crap! How does this work?

That soldering iron is sold by EnergyMonitorWorld and Fulfilled by Amazon but cannot be delivered to Ireland? However, the solder wick and the pump can be delivered to Ireland.

Note that I already ordered.

@andrewjoy, Thanks mate. I also bought a 60/40 solder wick and ...

Hi andrewjoy,

I guess I'll order the one from Amazon because the seller from that ebay link doesn't seem to post to Ireland.

Thank you!

Edit: What other items should I get aside from solders and pumps? Do I need flux?

Edit2: Ordered! Thanks andrewjoy!
