Entry-level mechanical keyboard for keyboard axis --- the birth of the rainbow keyboard

On Double Eleven in 2016, I bought the first mechanical keyboard, Sensonny K1, a miscellaneous brand, at a price of less than 100 yuan. After using it for about two years, there was a problem of button clicking or button failure. After using it for 19 years, I finally couldn't stand it, so I turned the membrane keyboard out and threw it aside to eat ashes.

I recently turned it out and originally planned to throw it away, but recently I saw someone else assembling a mechanical keyboard, so I thought about trying to change a few keyboard switches, so I bought a few keyboard switches and prepared to toss. I also specially bought different types of key switches, such as green, black, tea, black and purple, in order to experience different feel.

It's been a long time

The keycaps are easy to pull off. The keys are all black.

I unscrewed all the screws on the keyboard, and I was able to pry the back of the keyboard open, but I still couldn't get it off. I don't know what went wrong.

full of dust

Dust has accumulated for a long time, and the keycaps are not clean, so quickly throw it in the water for a soak.

Later, it was found that the LED display area was fixed very close, and there should be a screw that had not been unscrewed. After tearing off the film, a screw was found.

The official start of work will begin below. The key shafts of this keyboard are all welded. , so if the key shaft is changed, the original key shaft must be welded off! ! ! Advanced welder is online!

It has to be said that it is too laborious to remove the key shaft. One key shaft has two solder joints, which must be welded at the same time to be pulled out, which is very laborious.

One shaft, two welding spots

Da da, welded a red shaft! Compared with the original black key switch, it is still very good-looking.

Because the key shafts are not bought enough to replace them all, and some keys are not used much, so only a part has been replaced, and it is really too difficult to remove.

It's almost dismantled

Finally, you're done, and the finished picture is here!

Rainbow Keyboard is born! ! !

According to the usual usage habits, different shafts are placed in different areas. It has been planned for a long time, and the workload is really heavy. A keyboard enjoys the feeling of multiple axes, and it is worthwhile to make money.

After tossing for several days, I finally succeeded, but I also enjoyed the fun, although my hands hurt for several days. A keyboard is not expensive, but after a lot of hard work, it is still very rewarding. Finally, I would like to thank my electric soldering iron. I have been using this electric soldering iron since I was in college. I have been following it for more than ten years. Although I don’t use it much, it still shines occasionally. fever of.
