What you should look out for with hot-swap keyboards

Hot-swap keyboards allow you to swap switches quickly and easily. Nevertheless, you should pay special attention to two things.

Simply pull out switches instead of desoldering them. Hot-swap sockets on your keyboard make all this possible. Sounds great, and it is. Still, things can go wrong in the process. I explain what and how you can avoid this in the video above. For English subtitles, click the gear icon, «Subtitles/CC» and «Auto-translate».
