| SirPeale:
It takes practice to solder. If you've never done it before, you do NOT want to start trying with a keyboard hack. If you have some piece of electronics that doesn't work anymore, practice on that first. As for the button nut, just keep at it; if you get it crooked you can't thread them properly. |

If you have any money you could use on a key encoder, buy one instead. Keyboard hacks are outdated to the point of being a last resort. Buy an Ipac or KeyWiz instead. |
| Ed_McCarron:
If its a newer keyboard PC board, with the compression connector strip? Don't try to solder to it. You'll need to scrape off the mask and solder directly to the traces. Unless you just need to decode a few buttons, spring for the purpose built encoder of your choice. You will be much happier. |
