From my research I have found that Hakko solder irons are overwhelmingly popular, however they are expensive. If you are not planning to build keyboards for a living, you can cut some costs by a cheaper alternative. I myself bought a [GALLUNOPTIMAL GOSprint150](https://www.amazon.nl/dp/B091J6TB43). Others have had success with the Pinecil. -- solder: There are two types of solder that can be used, leaded and lead-free. While leaded solder melts easier and its easier to desolder, lead itself is toxic, therefore its important not to inhale it. You can put a fan in front of you and have good ventilation and possibly wear a mask. Lead-free solder is a safer choice, but it melts harder and is harder to desolder. Make sure to wash your hands after you are done! Using solder with a rosin core also makes it much easier to use. -- solder wick: Its a type of solder remover, can be handy during incidents. Adding flux to board also helps a lot -- solder brass: If solder tin gets stuck on the tip of your iron, this is your go to -- pliers: You will need them to cut flexstrip ribbon cables -- torx screw drivers: You need M3 and M4 screw drivers. You already may have one at home. -- tweezers: You are going to need them to hold pieces together, and also deal with small parts such as SOD123 diodes -- desoldering Pump: Can be handy in case of accidents -- solder flux: Optional, solder tins usually have tin inside nowadays, however it may be handy to have one -- solder Station silicon: Optional, to make sure not to damage the surface you are working on - # Assembly Most of the steps are similar to building a Charybdis Nano. Below is an outline, with details on what needs to be done differently.
