> along with a soldering iron to do repairs.

Totally agree. I would suggest any of the Weller pro series models(Indicated with the light blue chasis like the Weller WP35). Even their most inexpensive model is better than anything I have used off the shelf at Home Depot. Consistent tempuratures and fast heat up.

Additionally, I would also recommend a solder sucker and a flux pen. You could splurge for something like a Haako Desoldering gun which works great but unless you are doing entire board repairs the simple spring loaded ones work fine and costs considerablly less.

Yep. Two hours, give or take a few mins. Ive got some previous experience, and luckily we have some pretty decent equipment at my job to make it a breeze. I've used the desoldering iron a few times before on my other keeb so Ive already got the rhythm down pretty good. Here's a link to the one that I used:

I think not all of my sockets were perfectly flush, but when I put the plate in place the switches all snapped in without noticeable uneveness. I think that it helps to have a plate with the fixed stand off legs, like the AP2, rather than just a flat plate.

Here's a Pic of some of the switches. I found one tiny tiny gap on the Y key.

I'll keep an eye out for more when I end up switching out the keys.
