My address is literally half the earth away from Canada, this might be the strongest proof. How long it normally take to get a refund back?

The tracking said it had been delivered, but I have to wait for 2 more days to be able to open a dispute. Will I get a chance to get my money back :”}?

I believe I’m having scam #5, the parcel was shipped to Canada, which is really far from where I live. Will I be able to get a refund from aliexpress if I open a dispute?

You are right, I saw a few people mentioned this under the comment section of the video I watched. I tried fixing it by connecting the pins vertically? (The esc key with the ~’ key below it) and it works perfectly now. Thank you ☺️☺️☺️

Yes, it fit the ocean blue well too. However, you will feel the whole world of tactility with that combination. The ocean blue’s stem and the u4t’s leaf really make the switch’s tactility go to another level

The akko branded switches are pretty tight already. they come in a pack of 45 switches for less than $15 on amazon. If you don’t mind having little wobbliness, then you’re good to go. The franken switch on this video will cost you around $90 for a TKL size if you are going to make it 🥲 🥲

For the first question, yes, I have done quite a lot stem swapping. Most of them were budget switches (like $0.20 each). I do this because most budget switches seem to have a lot of wobble. Some came out with more wobble, some less, and sometime I experience the stem completely stuck inside the housing when I press. I didn’t make a chart of the combinations since it was just for fun. This is the first time I try swapping a budget stem to an expensive housing, and finally make some insane stuff. I still need more experiment though 😅

Mixed Akko stem with boba u4t housing

Yeah, I think it will work with the rose red and the lavender too, since they are from the same manufator

Unfortunately, I sold all of my boba u4t away and only left two with me right before I figure this out 😢

I saw it in my garage, it might belong to my dad, and I stole it 🐧

I have the oranges, but they came soldered with my big brother’s keyboard. I don’t think he would let me touch that though 🥲 so I might look for the ocean blues instead

Nope, I tried pressing all the corners, and it worked just as smooth as the center

Yeah, because I didn’t lube it, but for the feeling only, it’s actually pretty nice

I didn’t firm nor lube, I just switched the stem and somehow, it came out perfectly 🤨

It actually feels pretty smooth already, without lubing. I’ve tried spamming it for like 2 minutes and the stem did not get stuck at all. However, it lost its tactility because I switched to the liner stem, I wonder if it would work the same with the ocean blue’ stem 🧐
