Require 2 per switch Requires soldering to PCB We recommend to pick up a few extra Best HOWTOs out there, let me know if I need to elaborate here. Posted with permission. 0305 - These are reasonably cheap, and fit damn near any keyboard. Compared to the 7305s, they have a thicker lip, but in my experience, this has caused no issues (stabilizers return properly). The drawbacks to this socket are its long tail. If you're using a board with very tight spacing, they may be too tall and touch the bottom of the board. You can fix this by sanding the bottoms, but that's a lot of work. P/N used: 0305-2-15-80-47-80-10-0 3305 - These are new, fairly priced, and fit damn near any keyboard. Compared to the 7305s, they have a thinner lip, designed specifically for the mechanical keyboard pcbs. The drawbacks to this socket are its overall length, lending to being slightly more difficult to handle due to their size (tiny). If you're using a board with very tight spacing, these will match the compatibility of 7305s including the potential to bork. P/N used: 3305-0-15-80-47-27-10-0 7305 - These are just about identical to the 0305, but they have a shorter tail and shorter lip. The short tail makes them ideal for those tight builds I mentioned before. They're gold plated depending on the exact model you select. These are one size fits all, but they're annoying as heck to install due to the short tail. When I buy these, I always buy 10 extra because it's nearly impossible to get through an entire build without borking a few and getting solder inside. P/N used: 7305-0-15-15-47-27-10-0 Chill-Max - These have a thinner flange (0.2mm) than current Mill-Max offerings, and will have virtually no protrusion for the flattest sitting switches. At 3mm length, these are only slightly longer than 7305 (2.67mm), but shorter than the 3305 (3.30mm) and 0305 (3.94mm) models. INSTALL TIPS For all soldering: use a small tip and use thin solder. Recommended Solder: Kester 0.031 in. 24-6337-0027 0305, 3305 and 7305: Put sockets on a switch. Insert switch where it belongs, with sockets on the legs. Solder sockets. Remove switch Repeat 1-4 until done. Use like 10 switches at a time. Use switches you don't care about so that when you inevitably solder a socket into it, it's no biggie. RANDOM TIPS When you put keycaps on your stabilizers, it might push the PCB off of the switches. I like to leave the board open until switches AND caps are installed, push everything to fit again, then close up the case. God tier QOL upgrade: add something non-conductive underneath the PCB to prevent the above issue and just to keep the PCB from backing off in general. Bumpons or shelf liner is great for this.
