Soldering a Mechanical Keyboard PCB Using Reflow

Описание: In this video, I run through the process of assembling and soldering a mechanical keyboard PCB by hand using reflow. The design includes features currently en vogue in the hobby like hotswap sockets and a JST header. Assembly begins at 4:47 if you don't feel like watching the preparation!

Just go buy your PCBs, guys. This took so long.
