Key switch hotswapping

Go60 supports changing key switches without desoldering/soldering.

Warning

Note that key switch hotswap sockets have a limited cycle rating: that is, the number of times that the switch can be changed before the socket begins to wear out. Based on our observations, we strongly recommend limiting the number of switch swaps to no more than 10 times for each particular hotswap socket.

Procedure to change keyswitch

  • Remove the key cap with the supplied keycap and keyswitch puller
  • Remove the key switch with the supplied keycap and keyswitch puller
  • Position the new key switch in the correct orientation (if attempting to place in the wrong orientation, damage to PCB and RGB can occur), and align the pins with the hotswap socket
  • Push evenly downwards until the key switch is completely flat
  • Re-install the key cap

Danger

DO NOT APPLY EXCESSIVE FORCE. Due to potential user errors, damages resulting from key switch changes are excluded from the warranty.
