The prospect of soldering switches on the PCB often intimidates people wanting to build their own mechanical keyboards. The process is not advisable for beginners, as it is a difficult task to align each socket perfectly on the board before soldering.It is advisable to place the keyboard onto a soft surface to reduce the possibility of bending the soft pins of the switches. This not only secures the switches on the board, but also makes electrical connections between the PCB traces and the metal pins of the switch. Hot swappable and soldered PCBs are two of the most popular types of PCBs available in the market, each with their own set of advantages and disadvantages.
