Millmax sockets with frog mini?
I was looking into making my frog mini hotswap using 0305 sockets, but wasnt sure if it is compatible with the case because of length. Does anyone know if this will work or if I need ot use shorter sockets? thanks

Most Millmax are compatible, but I don't recommend using it, as they can cause a number of issues.

Millmaxes place too high a stress on the PCB pads
It's really easy to break traces or lift pads using them, which renders the PCB unusable unless you are willing to do some fine solderwork to fix it
