soldering SMT diode is really fast - eviltoast

No need to bend the legs, no need to do wire stripping. I did this in 30 minutes casually… I guess the full halve will take around 1 hour

    Is that using magnet wire to run the matrix? That small of guage seems like it will potentially break with some shock force (dropping a keyboard from a few centimeters on a wooden desk or something). Or is there a backplate supporting it?

      yeah, they are quite delicate. I wanted to use thicker ones but it is hard to get thick magnet wires. I never tried dropping them so idk, I guess making them less tensioned would help a bit
