| [title] Replacing switches | |
| - | [* red] |
| + | [* red] As you may see one of the switches is completely busted. It has to be replaced! |
| [* black] There are few replacements out there. I've used this [https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/omron-electronics-inc-emc-div/D2F/SW500-ND/83270|one]. But you might want to use [https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/omron-electronics-inc-emc-div/D2F-01F/SW502-ND/83266|original one]. Or the [https://www.digikey.com/products/en?keywords=ZMCJF7P0T|rival one]. | |
| [* black] It really does not matter much. The difference is operating force. The original one comes with 75 gf which gives lighter clicking action. But I went with 150 gf for the replacement since those should last longer... | |
| [* black] Take old switches out. Might be a little tricky! You might want to use multiple soldering irons to heat all 3 pins at once. Or heat gun. The choice is yours. Just be careful not to burn yourself! FYI, this is probably not the best project for the first soldering experience! | |
| [* black] Solder new switches on. |
