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
tho >facebook< why havent you deleted that shit years ago
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
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
ah okay.
that explains why the solder doesn't stick to the pad
because i am not heating the pad
solder won't stick if it's not hot yeah
only the solder
okay
you can put a little bit of solder on the tip to make the heat transfer better
wow that's beautiful
