(Music should be coming soon once the video finishes processing.)
(Watch in 4K if you can! However, the timelapse is unfortunately not in 4K, or even HD, as I didn't correctly configure my video capture program .)
In this video, I swap out the springs in the Gateron Clear switches in my GMMK keyboard. Because the GMMK is a modular keyboard, I can remove switches without having to do any desoldering or soldering.
I use this GMMK to write in Plover Steno, a free, open-source stenotype program. I felt that lighter switches would help me write in Plover more quickly and comfortably, so I ordered some Spirit switches that have 20g and 15g of actuation force. (That's extremely light compared to other mechanical keyboard switches!) This video first shows me installing the 20g springs on one of my GMMKs, and then features a time lapse of me installing the 15g springs on my other GMMK. (I ended up liking the 15g springs the best, so I actually ended up replacing the 20g springs that you see in the first part of the video with 15g springs as well.)
I hope this video shows that doing spring swaps on the GMMK and other hot-swappable keyboards is quite simple, although having the right tools helps a lot. Thanks for watching!
(Note: I ordered these springs directly from Sprit, and it took about a month for them to arrive from Korea, although YMMV. The next time I bought Sprit springs, I ordered from gboards.ca, a reseller based in Canada. If you want a faster shipping process, I'd consider buying from gboards, especially if you're in North America. Jeremy has been working on some very neat Plover hardware so I wanted to give him a shoutout! www.gboards.ca/product/sprit-... )
(All of the video, except for the time lapse at the end, was filmed in 4K with a Panasonic HC-VX870K.)
