Hot Swap Socket Installation Service: Change Switches Without Soldering

Hot swap socket installation

If your keyboard has its switches soldered in, changing them means desoldering every single one. Most people never do it, and end up living with switches they picked before they knew what they liked.

This service fits Mill-Max sockets to your existing PCB. After that, switches push in by hand and come out with a puller. You can try a heavier spring, go quieter for the office, or swap a single worn switch, all in a couple of minutes.

How it works

1. Write to me and tell me which keyboard you have and how many positions it has.
2. You send the keyboard, or just the PCB if you can take it apart yourself.
3. I desolder the existing switches, clean the pads and fit sockets in every position.
4. The board is tested position by position before it goes back to you.

Works with

ErgoDox, ErgoDox EZ, Redox, ErgoDash, Corne, Sofle, Let's Split and most other PCBs designed for Cherry MX switches. If you are not sure about yours, send a photo of the board.

Good to know

• The price depends on the number of positions. This listing opens the order; the final quote is agreed beforehand.
• Existing switches can be reused if they are in good condition.
• Shipping both ways is on your side.
