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.

This is a little off topic but mouse and keyboard always go hand in hand, don't they? If you are interested in having cool keyboards, you may be as well excited about cool mouses. I've been searching for a mouse that satisfies me the way customized mechanical keyboards do. But I could not find anything that even come close to what I want. Generally there are gaming mouses which are said to be accurate, sensitive, blah blah. Those I don't need, just like I never need plastic gaming keyboards from Corsair, Razer, Logitech, and the likes. I need aluminum cases, better tactile switches, good build quality and full programmability. For mouses, I need something that looks cool, wireless, durable, excellent build quality.
And finally I found one (links below). This mouse is made from metal and wood. You can't get anything better made than this. It also looks very cool. It's wireless and rechargeable through USB. It's currently on a crowdfunding campaign. The lowest price offered was $60 (which is now too late to get). However if you are interested, please check that out and spread the words. I hope Massdrop will offer mouses like this alongside mechanical keyboards.
