Desoldering, Mill-Maxing, And Why You Might Want To Learn Both
Thanks to StoryboardTech’s fantastic article, you finally learned how to solder! Or at least, you’re committed to learning. So, what’s next? Well, if you’re brave enough, why not learn how to desolder as well? And when you feel confident with that, how about Mill-Max? You don’t necessarily have to know or learn how to solder before learning how to desolder or Mill-max, but in my opinion, getting comfortable with soldering is a great step towards learning how to do the other two, and if you know how to solder, you can practice desoldering and mill-maxing to your heart’s content since you’ll already have the tools from learning how to solder! Well, at least most of the tools. Let’s start off with the good ol’ disclaimer section first, however. Disclaimer These are my own opinions and my own thoughts, and if I’ve learned anything in life, it’s that we all do things in slightly different ways. Whether it be deadlifting, desoldering, Mill-Maxing or even baking...

AWESOME looking set - the colors is great, and fits the yellow nicely. Feels good although the texture is different than the stock keys on the ducky (more 'textured' if that makes sense).
Just a few issues:
1. It comes in a plastic bag instead of in a nice box set - not a big issue, but for storing my old keys, and for clean placement rather than hunting for keys, it would have been nice.
2. The finger markers on the f and j keys are a a bit lower than I'm used to (they're ALL the way at the bottom of the keys instead of leaving a bit of space).
3. They don't allow ANY light through on my backlit keyboard. They are COMPLETELY opaque to light.
Pretty happy with the buy. I was going to buy the blues but they were out - I'm glad I got the greens though - they give the keyboard a cool 'ninja turtle' feel. Now I just need to get a TMNT key for the escape button :)
