Fully disassembled my mechanical keyboard (Keychron K8 Pro) and cleaned the pcb and plate with rubber alcohol. Always an (unpleasant) surprise, how much dirty and grime collects down there.
Now reassembling the whole keyboard again, but with different switches. This time it’s going to be the lubed Voyager V2 Tactile switches, I recently got from Kinetic labs. They feel incredibly well and have a nice and rich sound profile (deep, creamy, satisfying)
Oh, and the keyboard is using the fully free open source QMK firmware (https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware) and I compile it myself, using my own custom branch with modifications I did and flash that to my keyboard.
Good day to rebase my branch to the lasted upstream and update the keyboard. They added a couple new features and led shenanigans since I updated it for the last time.
