I’m planning on soldering my next KB, do you guys have any tips on soldering irons, solder materials, etc, to make it go smoothly? I’ve only soldered bulky stuff so I have a soldering iron appropriate for a gorilla.

    Buy very thin solder wire. I was struggling until I realized that the wire was too thick. I got thinner wire and everything went smooth.

    But cheap practice board for soldered (few USD) and practice first (desolder and solder again after you finish).

    If your iron don’t have temperature control, but something that has it. I paid around 10usd for mine.

    Go with switches first, do controller later, it’s slightly more difficult
