So, last week I broke a mechanical key on my keyboard.

Today, I soldered a new mechanical switch back on.

It was the "Esc" key, so it was pretty important.

Anyways, I also added small plastic rings to each key as well.

When this keyboard returns to work on Monday... my cubicle-mates will appreciate my near silent keystrokes! No more will they have to deal with the 'thock' of MX-reds.

Oh.

And Kilmat. Placed it underneath the switches.

And underneath the keyboard itself (with little holes cut out for the feet of the keyboard).

Here are some photos of the newly repaired and updated keyboard.
