Not sure, but that’s how the PCB looks, both sides have the same PCB, you only solder the diode on the back site.
I may be making a faux pas, but I have a good stock of molykote55 that seam to be a decent match to the krytox 
I’ll have to give it a go on a few keys
Someone did a test against the two after 1,000 actuations and i think molycoat failed and just pooled at the bottom of the switch.
ive been out of the hobby for a bit and was unfamiliar with Choco switches. unfortunately the panda’s wont work from you and you seem to be pretty limited on your options for tactiles.
I do however know those sockets very well and i have had to repair about a dozen boards of people that have ripped them off on accident. When you place your switches go gentle, if it doesnt go in with minimal pressure do not force it or youll rip that socket off of the pad and pull a trace.
good to know 
Ill make sure it is supported on teh back side when installing the switches.
I went with teh choc profile to be lower and slimer, i have a macropad i made a few years ago with some custom hotkeys ad its a bit too tall for full typing.
But this will probably not be my last keyb, i am keeping an eye on the MiRage project 
zach freedman’s project. Nice.
Check out the Nullbits split keyboard. they are really easy to build and setup. The owner is just another maker. The Snap75 is a really cool design and pretty inexpensive (99$).
This reminds me of countless hours spent playing Scorched Earth.
if id known, i might have tried that one first 
Ill keep it in mind for the next build, thanks for sharing.
I may try to emulate something similar, though not in the same form factor.
Are naked xFDs any different than xLEDs? Glass? Size? Etc?
The xFD is just regular glass, I believe, not the nice implant grade bioglass stuff
Other than that I think they’re the same
Per the xLED product page:
“The original xLED was a field testing device that was shaped exactly like an x-series implant to more perfectly emulate how an x-series implant would perform with various readers, but it was not made of implant grade materials and not meant for implantation.”
I guess that will save me from implanting one out of boredom…
I could still make something neat if I try to strip the clear (plastic? Acrylic?) Off of them.
Since I have two pairs I could make a little display out of a pair of them them too, in leu of any dud/nonfunctional copies of my actual implants that I have yet to aquire.
i destroyed 2 trying to do that. heat helps soften the glue. be patient.
I have a hair dryer. Would that work well? Combined with a tooth pick maybe?
i used an xacto knife and a lighter. heated up the blade, then used it to try to split the xfd. then i used the lighter to try to heat up the entire thing and pry it open. cracked both times. i think if i would have taken the plastic out in sections i would have had better success.
And it’s sealed with a flame. So it might not actually be sealed…
Good enough for something that’s encased in a keychain, but I wouldn’t like to have one in me.
I thought about modifying my two xFD keychains into a dual frequency one, but DT released this before I could get around to it.
The xFDs used to come in small plastic vials, stuck to a card, this was before the xLEDs existed.
well sorta, kinda, there was a name crossover,
but long story short, people would implant them which was obviously not a safe thing to do, so they ended up inside the current keyrings…even then, people tried to extract them to implant them…
It’s actually what started both my journey into keyboards and learning to code in qmk. I built out a nice little interface that displayed things on the screen and let me control my music, backlight, and zoom mic on it with a rotary encoder
I do have a lot of wraps lying around from… Previous hobbies you can guess based off of my hand photos, but would the pressure of the wraps not risk migration?
You can print a healing helper and put it on before you bandage it up.
You see, I have too many expensive hobbies to add a 3d printer to the list :')

Why Ubuntu as opposed to debian? And Ubuntu Desktop or Ubuntu Server?
