Is a Panda like a MX White and Black hybrid somehow? Its the switch sold by invyr or on 1upkeyboards I think as well, but they have good contacts and low wobble on them, making them good for tactile stems and not the linear stems originally in them. So my goal is to learn about the zilent stem in t...

So I took of all the diodes and replaced them with cut of pieces of diode legs. The problem remains, Strange clicking noises from the speaker and then nothing.

Removing all diodes and putting in jumpers.
You can't blindly replace jumpers with diodes. Sometimes current needs to go both ways. :evil:

Soldering Diodes on G80-1800 HAD (Problem Solved)

What I've done is soldered new Gateron black switches on my G80-1800 HAD PCB (Thanks for the free PCB and Case Khers :D ). The PCB came without jumpers so I've soldered on 1N4148 diodes in their place. I did not solder diodes in the switches which have no traces going in or out of them. Pic in spoil...

You are probably right Kurrk, that seems very likely then. I didn't know that cherry lubed their switches and that's why I was confused. Thank you.

Yes Swedish doubleshots seem to be quite uncommon, atleast in the Marketplace. I was lucky to get a set :-).
