gonna start looking at the very low end soldering stations
a la Yihua
but idk which one
yihua OEM i think
i dont really need hot air, i seldom solder but i want something that isnt the 5 dollar trash and is somewhat safe
stupid seller didnt even dispatch my order yet
debating whether to hop up to a 3-in-1 too
something like this
why not good old Quicko or KSGER stations ?
ended up buying a Yihua 939D
out of stock now but I trust this to be slightly better than the 937 even though its limited in stock
>ebay uk >still comes from china i bet
they better have a warehouse in the UK and i better not get chinked
ebay will probably care
@Tervy fuck you were right with the KSGER
T12 has the direct heat thing
yep
i think i got confused initially cause there was a variant which took an external psu with barrel jack and one that had an internal PSU
and i figured fuck it
alright fuck it i canceled
🙃
will buy a KSGER
;D
ordered a ksger like half an hour ago or smthn and already dispatched
woah
then again it's like 8am Beijing
the shitty YIHUA is now refunded, I can sleep well
@Tervy I didn't know stuff like the Yihua is that antiquated now and that the KSGER is the new wave. thanks for the heads up
dear
thanks 🐖
that's the listing I bought from, it's the older hardware revision, I don't think there's a difference
is this "佳达隆轴冰蓝光红轴" supposed to be Gateron Reds?
@Enkrypton it's asking if the switch type is Gataron Reds
@onoderaSecurity iirc the firmware does not matter that much also there is someform of custom firmware by PTDreamer too to some HW-version of it but i have not handled it
also the hardware itself is nicely hackable if you want to go down that rabbit hole (Switching C4 cap to better quality for example, removingR10 for sane RTC battery times (not just few weeks..) etc etc etc...)
~~and heres to hoping you dont get v2.0 board what tends to generate some heat (controller board version) :P~~
