    For a cheap filler in the bottom of the case, I've started to use melted parrafin candle wax. Use silicone caulking to fill any holes that would leak since melted wax is fluid like water. Melted wax won't hurt the plastic case. Plus, It only costs me $2 per keyboard! I found $5 one pound blocks at my local hobby store. It's non-conductive, non-toxic, and reusable. It can be remelted and poured over and over again.

    I think the keyboard was still entirely salvageable. All you had to do was solder some wires from the broken off hotswap socket following the PCB traces to the next pads (to either the diode or the next socket pad in the sequence)
    I had to do the same thing for a stripped solder pad on my Keychron K4

Not sure if because inexperience, but I never had that issue once I installed the switches that I had bought to replace so I'm unsure if it was the board or the switches themselves...

    tbh the razer blackwidow v3 wireless yellow linear switches are thoccy, silent and amazing. Modifying KB's or buying trash KB's for 20$ less makes no sense. Get the razer blackwidow wireless off amazon renew for $85, it's definitely worth it much better price for value compared to modding or buying overly expensive $500 KBs that are custom. The quality is amazing too after 6 months of using.

    This video makes me want to see a 'scavenge only'/'repurpose only' video ..
    Edit for clarifiction: The purpose of the challenge would be to only use materials from other applications, and no purpose-meant stuff. (I wonder if WD-40 is still bad if you use it in the bag?)
