    awesome video man 🤘🤘 i'm new to this rabbit-hole of mech keyboard community and thinking about getting the rk71 by early next year. i did try using my friend's keyboard with linear switches(60g act force) and i kept on making typos, should i go for heavier linear switches in the future if i were to change them or just change to tactile switch with the same actuation force?

    Based on the other rk71 modding videos, the switches are not hot swappable and requires soldering. How come the one that you have im this video is hot swappable. I am planning to buy one for me and i need clarification for this model.
