A moment of overconfidence could spell disaster for the switch, the keyboard, and your own personal happiness. Hot swappable keyboards are great, because if you’ve gotten bored or have grown unsatisfied with how your current switches feel, you can swap them out to breathe new life into an otherwise aging keyboard.

Of course, newer users may have concerns, especially when dealing with keyboards with tighter sockets.

For those who have access to the mechanical keyboard’s PCB, check if there are hot-swap sockets on the back of the PCB. If your mechanical keyboard only supports 3-pin switches, there is still a way to use 5-pin switches.Just like you did with the keycaps, set the switches aside somewhere safe, or in the box that the new switches came in.
