The things I do for my family...

I got a full sized Mechanical Eagle Z-88 keyboard over a year ago. Family complained of the clicky blue switches. Ordered 110 genuine LED Cherry MX Browns... they didn't fit, and I bent them all. So I took my smallest drill bit and drilled every hole by hand, ordered another 110 keys as soon as I got my next job, and now not only am I happy that this keyboard works again, my family is happy that they don't have to hear the clicks.

I mean, I COULD have gone with the brown version of the knockoff switches the keyboard came with, but nah man. I am 100% genuine. Boo-yah.

You have the cherry mx silent, you know.

Meanwhile I use mx blues at 3am. Thug life.

Damn... how long did that take?

@pyro1245: The keyboard sat half-assembled for about half a year, if not more. It would have been quicker, but finding a reliable source of income takes some work for me. ^^; Actually replacing the switches only takes about an hour once you have them. Drilling the contacts beforehand takes another hour.
