I tried the tape, but with my sockets constantly slipping through (I now know I bought incorrect parts for my PCB) getting the sockets to sit correct was too finnicky with the tape. I can see how if the sockets sit just right on the PCB the tape would be 100% easier.

Cool! Having trouble finding that but I'll keep looking. I'm only seeing the 3 main sockets they sell which seem to have no difference in the head size of the socket

What sockets would fit the board better? I had no idea.

Yeah your third point makes sense. I killed about 3 switches using the same MX Browns, but luckily the rest installed just fine.

I did my best to research before buying parts, but the hobby is already overwhelming when starting for the first time so I'm not surprised I bought the wrong parts.
