Hey guys. I just got a Genesis Thor 300 TKL keyboard which doesnt work from my brother. I’ve got a Glorious GMMK v1 TKL keyboard. Is it possible to desolder the MX Blue switches from the broken Genesis keyboard and use them in the Glorious keyboard which at least to my knowledge is hotswappable?

Thanks in advance!

    I can guarantee you’ll fry a few of them and have to buy new switches anyway. Might as well save yourself the headache and just get new switches. Desoldering is a pain in the butt.

      If that’s the case I’ll turn this into an exercise. I’ll make a simple testing circuit once I’m done with my thesis and see how many I can save. Worst case I get some practice. Best case I get a set of switches for free and recycle. Most likely I’ll fry some, save others, and have a stock of spares and some experience. Thanks!
