Can you add new switches and not solder them in ? to make them easily servicable...

Marius Tamosiunas - Yanıt

Soldering is required. It acts as glue but also completes the electrical circuit between the switch and the rest of the board. Without soldering, no key presses from the switch will be detected

Jimmy Chang -

Hey, can you please confirm what type of switches are used, i am confused as there are many types of switches, eg. SMD, RGB, 5 pin, 3 pin, etc. Also, can i add any hot swap adapters to the board to make the kayboard hot swappable? I've seen a bunch of these pins online and was wondering if they could be used on this keyboard.

PS: I have a Ducky One 2 SF, and I'm assuming your guide on the Ducky One 2 Mini should work for my keyboard too.
