Finally got my first hotswap board working right after 3 failed attempts

I messed up the first two builds back in February because I kept bending pins on the switches. Last week I sat down with my coffee and took it super slow, checking each socket before pressing down. It took me about 2 hours to do a 60% board but man it feels good to type on something I built myself. Has anyone else struggled with those Gateron hotswap sockets or is it just me?

Dude those Gateron sockets are super finicky.

@skylerc86 wait you're telling me three whole builds died on those sockets before this one worked?
