Hey there,

i have a new issue with my Kite circuit sword.

I just soldered a new mode switch on (the ones that are recommended in the wiki (https://github.com/kiteretro/Circuit-Sw ... own-Issues))

but now it is registering as a constant pushed in state.

as far as i know my soldering iron was not to hot either (230 Celsius) so i hope i did not burn any lines

There is a little hole near the mode button that got some solder in accidentally, but that would seem very odd that could be the problem

If it happens while the case is closed, check to make sure it's not shorting out on the USB-C port. I had to put kapton tape on mine.
