IM BUILDING A MICROPAD

I'm really into DIY keyboard projects and spend a lot of time looking at tutorials on how to build them. I've learned a lot, and now I'm finally going to build one myself. As an engineering student, I think it's going to be a fun project. Right now, I just need some switches, so I'm looking for a broken mechanical keyboard that I can salvage and reuse the switches from. If that doesn't work out, I'll just buy some switches separately.
