The motor makes sound but it ain't spinning (the belts are probably melted😭).
FUCK

Heya, been soldering for around ~8 months now and feel finally ready to solder onto something of importance for me, my Xbox controller. It has been resting in its original box for approximately 7 years since I dropped it and (presumably) broke a joystick. Now, I know I ain't no expert or anything with just 3 AliExpress projects of experience so I'm making absolute sure that I know what I'm Doing by asking you guys.
Should I use a rework station and (try to) pull the joystick out or go one by one with a soldering iron and a solder sucker?
Any general advice people tend to forget with through holes?
Troubleshooting tips?
Oh and btw I don't have a preheater
Appreciate any advice.
Ordered a bunch of flux from "the mechanic" and it arrived but do I store it in a cold place or does it not matter?
I'm planning to replace my current keyboard (Logitech's G910) because ~85% of the keys are ghosting/double typing by now. I do believe most of it is from dust and stuff but alcohol barely helped fix it, So i decided to switch to (what i believe) a higher quality newer keyboard with the hall effect magnet thingy and I landed on the Keychron K10 HE with hot swappable keys. Now i did read from review and posts about keychron and how they got some quality control issues in recent years but, does it also affect their high-tier stuff? (also this s how it loks if i write a sentence witht fixing it on m current keboard)
I need myself one of em speed adjustment cassettes but don't really know where to get one. Should I trust this Ali express or is there a better way? (Product is 3000hz cassette for speed adjustment) https://a.aliexpress.com/\_c3yP9CAb
