In order to be well prepared, how can I successfully join an electronics factory after graduating at the age of 35?

Learn from fixing keyboards(it’s a joke)

Background

The keyboard I using is the ErgoDox, an ergonomically split keyboard. More details about ErgoDox can be found in my previous answer.

(former keycap color scheme + hand rest).

After seven or eight years of work, it has been into the water, into the coffee, but also into the soy milk, now finally a few keys are not flexible, pressed a sticky feeling, can not provide a smooth coding feel.

After a few months of using a back up Filco, I finally made up my mind to get the ErgoDox fixed.

Processing

Check which key shafts to replace, press one and listen to one

step-1

Remove the shell

step-2

Remove the corresponding keycaps (note that F J keycaps are different)

step-3

Melt the solder and suck the melted solder away with a solder sucker

step-4

With a key switch puller, remove it from the front, remember there is a soft clip, to up and down direction (i.e. cherry logo direction + opposite force)

step-5

Look at the coffee and soy milk that went in

step-6

Weld the new key shaft on

step-7

Sucking away the debris spit out the look of the solder sucker

step-8

Final assembly

Summary

I have that feeling of typing smoothly again ~

Youthfulness is back~

Finally, I’d like to share my ErgoDox Layout configuration:

If you get something out of it, give it a like.
