Wait I didn't even know it had bismuth, no wonder it felt so different to this 99.3/0.7 Sn/Cu stuff. It's probably weaker than either kind of solder.

LCSC is from China. Like $40 shipping fee minimum. Only worth it if you're ordering a bunch of shit from them.

Oh, what are you doing at the moment? Just bolting some perfboard with tactile switches under the keys? Or mounting a bunch of switches some other way?
You can always attempt the debouncing method later using the same hardware. Probably an unreliable pain in the ass trying to get consistent values out of it, but you never know.

Pic related, though in your case the resistor on the far left would already exist in your circuit. Just the main square of three resistors, the TL431, and the PNP transistor will replace the zener. Would also give a much more stable output value.
