Wait, are you for real? Where did that come from?

Kailh hot swap sockets are rated for 100 so-called cycles, while Mill Max Hot Swap Sockets are rated for 1000 cycles. While sockets are relatively sturdy, their lifetime may be shortened if you use desoldered switches with them, or when you try to force your switches in when the pins aren't aligned correctly,

Huh... I guess I just didn't think it would have finite lifetime.
