and ladies and gentlemen...it's DONE!
i mixed and matched some mx reds and gateron blues but it's mostly complete /except/ for some minor issues like the control thing caving in sometimes
had an issue with t and r registration but the contacts just weren't on the solder/touching/in the solder enough
pic:
(all keys that are illuminated are mx reds)
it took a solid three days of desoldering, soldeing, swearing, sweat, etc, etc to get it to work
but now that it works it sounds loving amazing
if you have the time i would def recommend doing this
