That's good to know - I'll keep it in mind
This is my first time doing anything "engineering" related in over a decade (I'd not even touched a soldering iron since I was 13!) so I'm pretty proud I got it working. I had a friend helping me with the board and it seems the TRRS cable unplugged and shorted one half, blowing one IC chip.
I actually read some of your responses to other people in the Discord while troubleshooting - they helped me realise I needed to isolate my fingers from the tweezers I was using too (I was thinking keys were shorted when they weren't), and that 90% IPA would be more effective at cleaning off the remaining flux

Thanks so much for the advice. The solder joints were all fine but I cleaned the PCB with 99% IPA to remove any flux/other contaminants. It turned out that one of the IC chips was broken - I switched it out and the board is now fully functional! 😄
