even cheap homeburner soldering iron can do em
3
coincidentally some fag in a facebook group fucked it up and burnt off the copper on his pcb
so ... yea he fucked it up
3/10 skills in my book are the people who are soon startting to dip into SMD stuff 1 being total idiot who soldered his first resistor last week and burned it and 10 being the guys who hand-solder finepitch DFN/QFN/WLSCP stuff blindfolded
10 being also those guys who deadbug those same chips
1 is the person who uses a soldering gun and plumbing solder
i'm not sure if a homeburner soldering iron is a good idea either
those are usually not temperature controller
and 500 °C will fuck up your PCB real quick
alternatively you can be like this person
and use a 120V rated iron on 230V

someone just suggested to put on WD40 on the switch
there's also contact spray
@Frederica Bernkastel why on earth you would want to remove water from switch ...
or is this the meme "lubricate your switches to prevent doubleclick"
that
and people think WD40 is lubricant
yes i know
well i'm just gonna try out my mouse for a bit. after opening it up i don't think there's anything wrong apparent
it does lose clicks when dragging sometimes
fuck!!
it does doubleclick lol
time to switch switch then
>It can be fixed by applying a thin layer of epoxy such as gorilla glue to the hammer.
ey i can do this
i'll do this first
yea na fuck that switch is fucked
well, i did it, but i'm pretty bad at soldering
well only way to get better at it = do it more often
i never actually properly learned how, just from doing it very rarely. just heat that lead up and drop it on the pcb awkwardly
(don't do it that way)
heat the pad up
and then apply solder to the pad
i'll watch a video
what's a pad
anyway yea i'm doing it wrong
a pad is the exposed copper on a pcb
