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.

Hey everyone, Robin here!
I'd like to get your thoughts and gauge your interest in a project I've been working on over the last year. It's a graphically programmable shortcut keypad which allows you to automate anything at the press of a button. It went down really well on reddit/r/mechanicalkeyboards so following on from that, I'd like to see what the Massdrop community thinks. Check it out!
It's not dissimilar to the (very nice) Rama M10 in capabilities, but is a bit smaller, has a different style of interface using drag-and-drop boxes, and is probably going to be at a slightly lower price point too.
To put a face to a post, here is me exhibiting at Maker Faire UK - it went down really well :)
Happy clacking,
Robin
