Today I Fucked Up. I tried to do something involving hardware.
I tried to fix my mechanical keyboard by myself with no thought towards how electronics work. My first time using a soldering iron and trying to fix something myself.
I went from needing to replace one key to burning some plastic, failing to get new solder onto the parts to attach the new key to the PCB and getting solder where I didn't want it to needing a new keyboard because I think I've fried some stuff so badly half the bottom row of keys no longer works.
Fucking wonderful.
Guess it's time to buy a new keyboard.
Sigh.

    If i remembet correctly good keyboards have easily replacable keys in sockiets.

    PS. At least watch few yt videos how to solder god dammit!
    (In order to remove the key you will need the solder wick or the solder pump, Dont Forget the FLUX!)
