Dang, a hoarder lol

I mean the build/theory is solid enough, but when I used mine it was one press and open maybe 20% of the time? Otherwise you kinda had to work it over, or take it out and finish prying with a fingernail, or just reset and try again. Not super frustrating, just not seamless as I expected.

I aim for this type of organization lol

All I want in life is a typewriter keyboard.

SCHLACK-SCHLACK-SCHLACK-SCHLACK

I hate that I actually love this

Never put any electronics in rice, especially as the starch and powders in rice will mix with water and congeal making it even worse. Silica gel if in a humid environment but natural drying and alcohol is best.

Straight to the bottom of hell /s

Many good advices already. The key is to dry the boards out as quickly as possible and to not power them up until you know they are dry to prevent any shorts which would fry components. Leaving humidity/water in contact with components will lead eventually to oxidation so time is of the essence. If I only had a handful, I would immerse the PCBs in an IPA bath before letting them airdry but you may have too many to do that. Alternative is to use a hair dryer in low settings and dry them at 40-50C.

Or self, goddamn

pcb will likely be fine. You can soak it in 99% isopropyl alcohol if you really want to make sure every part is good, and it's easier than manually cleaning.

The way numpads should be

This is the sexiest keyboard I’ve ever seen. How can I make this?

I would not recommend putting the PCBs in rice. Chances are, since they weren't plugged in, they should be fine. Adding rice can introduce a bunch of particles into your keyboard (esp if hotswap) and it's just a bad idea all around. Pat them off with a towel or something. Good luck!

I saw the thumbnail briefly before I took a closer look and thought to myself "It's about time someone put a CD player on the side of a keyboard."

Was born in early 80s and we had a rotary phone. Prob ditched it in the early 90s. Thing was solid and wouldn’t die

i was eyeballing this bear switch opener too, seems reasonably priced and its WS, should be decent i presume?

Thats what I do and my matt gets really dirty because I roll joints and smoke cigaretts at my desk. This works really well cleaning a desk matt.

Phreaking in 2022?

Kinda badass tbh

Not gonna win any awards for data entry speed with that, but it's awesome!

Just tell me when the group buy 😭

Yeah no problem, your best bet is to get the pcbs dry as soon as possible. The alcohol will help evaporate any water trapped where you can’t see it.
