Picked up on things really quickly, assembled and modded a lot of boards, lubed a ton of switches, but all the PCB's were hot-swappable.  After spending way too much money on boards like we all do, I took a break from the hobby for a little while (Got into lawn care, killed all my grass, planted a Kentucky Bluegrass, Ryegrass, Creeping Red Fescue mix that looks like a golf course now, but I digress).  Decided it was time to get back into the hobby but wanted to do it a bit differently this time.  Been keeping up with some interest checks of some really cool boards and realize the first time around, I missed a lot of cool boards because I feared the solder.  initially I just wanted to try every switch I could, but by this point I know what I like and what I don't.  Last time I soldered was when I was at a 4-H camp when I was like 10.  Finally decided I wanted to try and solder my switches in.  Picked up some already lubed Gateron Milky Reds from the Market for a good price, $40 knock off 9009 set from HK Gaming on Amazon, used some C3 screw in stabs that I had leftover, and the Practice65 (uses Savage65 PCB) keyboard kit from Cannonkeys.  I also picked up these wearable magnifying lenses from Amazon for $17 ([https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H8808H6/ref=ppx\\_yo\\_dt\\_b\\_asin\\_title\\_o00\\_s00?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H8808H6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1)).  Bought the soldering iron kit from amazon as well ([https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082HP4513/ref=ppx\\_yo\\_dt\\_b\\_asin\\_title\\_o04\\_s00?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082HP4513/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1)).  Why in the world was I afraid of this.  Not hard at all!  I watched this video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpV-eJNrXjk\u0026amp;t=740s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpV-eJNrXjk\u0026amp;t=740s)  It took me about 90 minutes to put the entire kit together and that is only because I started out slow.  Once I got going it was a breeze!  For anyone just getting into the hobby, or if you were well versed in the hobby but weren't sure about soldering, get this kit and try it (I am in no way affiliated with CannonKeys, just a really good kit if you want to practice and if for some reason you do mess it up, the kit was only like $50.)   I even desoldered a switch just to try it and that was not that hard either.  The amazon kit comes with a solder sucker.  Really looking forward to some group buys that are coming up, mainly got my eyes on the Box75!  That thing is beautiful and it will be mine and it will be soldered!","subreddit_name":"MechanicalKeyboards","author":"dtyrewilliams"},{"body":"I wear something extremely similar (same brand and style) except it isn’t rechargeable, it uses regular batteries.  If you don’t plan to use the light, I would recommend the non-rechargeable one because you can remove the batteries to make it lighter.  I actually don’t like using the light as it’s so small; I have a larger, bright lamp to shine down on my work.  [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H8808H6/ref=ppx\\_yo\\_dt\\_b\\_search\\_asin\\_title?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H8808H6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1)\r  \r\n\r  \r\nEven without the batteries it does still get a little uncomfortable around the bridge of the nose after a while.  (I haven’t tried the optional headband which seems to me like it would be awkward.)  I don’t have time for super long stitching sessions, maybe a couple hours on a good day, but it never gets too bothersome.  The bridge of my nose is always a bit red and indented-looking for a while after I’m done, though.\r\n\r\nI like that it's really adjustable, so you can angle the magnifying glasses exactly the way that works best, and adjust their distance from your eyes.  It took me a little getting used to at first, but since they're further away from your eyes you can also easily see things in the distance without hurting your eyes or removing/adjusting the glasses.  You just get used to looking directly through them while stitching, and angling your head to see around them when you need to look elsewhere.","subreddit_name":"CrossStitch","author":"TrblCauser"},{"body":"Not recommended: I have [this](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H8808H6/) and it works great in terms of vision and light, but it's uncomfortable and heavy.","subreddit_name":"CrossStitch","author":"SnapCrackleMom"}]}
