I recently purchased a klor from beekeeb, ready soldered :) excellent soldering job; in any case. I didn’t realise that the mcu would be exposed. So i was wondering if I should be worried. I don’t want to stick black electrical tape over it because it will get sticky. Wondering what i could do. Worried i move the keyboard one day with moisture on my fingers and then i get a short, which will be a sad day. Thanks.

    You could use a hot glue gun. If you ever need to take it off, isopropyl alcohol will cause it to unstick without any damage.

      This is a brand new piece of information to me, and a quick google says it’s right. This is useful.

        You would spread it across the MCU. I’m not sure what the best way is to keep it perfectly smooth though. You could hide it with electrical tape if you really wanted to (is that what you mean by slicing tape?).
