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!
Unlikely. If you’re a skilled solderer (?) you might be able to pull it off. Otherwise you’re running into:
I wouldn’t call myself skilled by any means, but I have some experience with it, and have some tools available (flux, wick, etc)
@promitheas @avidamoeba totally possible. You might consider buying a decent sucking pump, like engineer ss-02.
Yeah with the right tools and experience it’s possible. I always struggle with desoldering through-hole components without overheating.
