Switch replacement without soldering

Hot-swappable mechanical keyboards let you pull and replace switches without soldering. The socket accepts compatible switches, so you can change feel or repair a failed switch. This is the defining feature, not a pre-installed switch type.

Samples include 65%, 75%, and full-size layouts. Some are wired only, while others support Bluetooth, 2.4GHz, and USB-C. Gasket structures and pre-lubed linear switches appear across multiple models.

Layouts, connections, and finishes

Layout choices range from compact 65% to full-size with a number pad. Connection options include wired USB-C, Bluetooth 5.0 or 5.1, and 2.4GHz wireless. Some models support all three.

Colors observed include black, white, gray, brown, blue, red, and green. Case materials and keycap profiles vary by model. Retro and creamy sound descriptions appear in samples.

Switch types pre-installed include linear, tactile, and clicky, but the hot-swap socket allows replacement. Compatibility with Mac and Windows is listed on some models. Battery-powered wireless versions are rechargeable.
