    AEKII Board Repair

    Yeah, explained that way, it makes logical sense. I'd definitely have the new components soldered in first (some capacitors and I think some diodes). All the switches should be good...I'm more concerned about the board! I used to have a couple keebs with Matias switches (Matias Quiet Pro and...
