Making a Leopold FC980-M Hot Swappable using Mill-Max Sockets

#customkeyboards #mechanicalkeyboard #LeopoldFC980M #hotswap #keebs #switches #soldering #keycaps #keyboardswitches #millmaxsockets
We will be breaking down this Leopold keyboard and solder in some mill-max sockets. This will make the keyboard hotswappable. We will also clip, tune, and lube the stabilizers as well as the tempest tape mod while this keeb is taken apart. We will be throwing in a combination of brown and red switches for now, but my guy has already expressed interest in swapping out for boba u4ts at a later date. Links to materials are down below.
