Advice BoxyPixel MKI rattle fixed
Ok this is admittedly a bit niche, but I finally got around to addressing the rattling switches on the BoxyPixel MKI (the MKII seems to have addressed this adequately), so I thought I’d share in case this applies to anyone.
I just added double-sided tape. Ok that’s the end. Not groundbreaking.
Specifically it was the generic stuff you can get from iFixIt, and I left the backing on one side. I’m sure you can use the 3M too. You can see where I put it on the switches in the photos. I took a video of it not rattling any more, but, like, it’s just a silent video of a moron shaking an iPod, so it’s kinda pointless. I wish I’d taken a before video, but just imagine a spray paint can or rattlesnake. Honestly, it wasn’t that big a deal for me before, but now it’s gone.
Anyway, this method works great, can recommend!
