Keyboard Switch Holder for Soldering

When trying to solder on switches for a mechanical keyboard, I found it difficult to keep the switches in place to flip the board over. I also wanted a way to ensure the switches were aligned and not twisted. This simple holder slides over a row of 10 or so switches at a time to temporarily hold them together. While gripping the holder, the board can be easily flipped over for soldering. I found that adding two rows of switches and holders, one towards the top and bottom, is best to keep the PCB level. Once soldering for at group the holder can be pulled off for the next group. This was designed for Gateron clone switches but will likely work well with others.
