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.

- Drop Keycap Club is now officially Drop Keyboard Club
- GMK White-on-Black extras will be available first to members Monday, December 13 at 12 PM pacific time
- There is a new early review artisan keycap to apply for Drop Keyboard Club members
More details below. The big one is that Keycap Club is now Keyboard Club. This means that monthly coupons apply to all Mechanical Keyboard products and accessories. Keycap sets, artisans, stabilizers, pullers, deskmats, and so on. The monthly coupon also no longer requires a $100 cart minimum and will instead convert to a percent off under $100 up to the coupon amount. So if you roll a $50 coupon then any cart under $100 will get 50% off all items up to $50. Next, there are only about 50 extra sets of the GMK White-on-Black keycap set. In case you missed the email update, these extra sets will be first available to Drop Keyboard Club members at 12 PM PT on December 13. Anything that is left over will be available to everyone shortly after. Lastly, a new artisan is up for early review. If you are a member of the club and are interested then please go and fill out the Interest Form. Applications will close Tuesday, December 14. I'm still working on a way to ping people so they get an alert when these go up so I appreciate the patience on that. And I think that's it for now. Let me know if there are any questions below and hope you have a great rest of the weekend.
