while I was removing the switch the Annular Ring (that silver circle that surrounds the port where the pins come in, came out while I was soldering, how can I fix it??
It's difficult to know if under a rounded mass of solder if the joint between pad and pin is properly made and provides a reliable electrical connection
I have an unlubed prebuilt keyboard that I want to desolder, lube, and resolder. Are you saying that for that I should apply more solder so that it’s rounded and covering up the pin? This is my first time. So because it was a originally prebuilt I apply that extra solder whereas if it were not prebuild I would not do that? You said it’s for encoders? What are encoders? Thanks so much
one important detail that seems to be missing everywhere is what temperature to set the soldering iron to. The recommended tools page only points to temperature controlled irons, but doesn't include a specific temperature to use. Any suggestions?
Anymore with fine components I don't like using a desoldering tool, it was fine when I was just soldering motor wires for radio controlled cars, but these days I tend to use de-soldering wick. :) p.s. love my Iris rev6
The metal that you're melting is also extracting fumes. It's extremely toxic and there isn't enough emphasis on it in any of the videos that I've watched
Yo wtf!! I should be washing my hands after handling some leaded solder?? Ofc i should, how foolish of me to not even have realized! Thank you so much!!! Honestly ive never heartd this advice and knowing what i know i really should haver known better and wish i heard this advice when i tried soldering for my first time many years ago 😟
I'm a little intimidated to get into this hobby but I am grateful for tutorials like this! hopefully it will get me into it!!
Thanks for the video! I’m doing my first keyboard build after parts arrive and this was great to watch as a primer.
We're glad you liked the video, best of luck with your build!
Just what I was looking for. Very helpful indeed. Great voice for voiceover too.
THANK you, I needed this exact tutorial
Best faqin soldering video on youtube dunno why you only have 5k views??

while soldering does solder damage the pcb
Great vid
Thank you for this great video. I just repaired my keyboard with my very first solder joint. It's a really ugly baby, but it works! LOL.
Why is a round solder joint too much? What's the downside?

Depends on the solder you use, but for 63Sn/37Pb we suggest 350-360C, and for lead-free, 400C
@@Keebio You meant Celcius, right?
@@fnvfanMSPR Ah yeah, meant Celsius, edited now

We use de-soldering wick from time to time! It's pretty nifty too. So stoked you are happy with your Iris Rev. 6! Cheers!
I personally love the smell of solder and it isnt that bad for you now that most are lead free.
Lead doesn't aerosolize at normal soldering temps, it's the flux that smells
those are flux fume not lead, they are toxic do not inhale
Flux isn't good for your health avoid breathing it
The metal that you're melting is also extracting fumes. It's extremely toxic and there isn't enough emphasis on it in any of the videos that I've watched
The fumes generated are not from the lead, it's from the rosin in the flux.
