Will the red switches from the Rosewill be the same quality as those from a genuine red QuickFire? Is this possible and can I even guarantee that the switches are interchangeable? If so is there any sort of hardware I will need for removing and adding switches besides a cap puller for pulling the caps off? Thanks for any insight.
1)Yes the switches will be the same quality
2)Yes the switches will be interchangeable
3)Yes you are going to need some serious hardware for changing the switches, more specifically a soldering iron, and all the other necessary tools needed to solder and desolder.
The CM storm keyboards (and most other non-Cherry brand keyboards) have plate mounted switches. What this means is that it is impossible to open them and swap springs/stems without first desoldering them. If you already have soldering experience, this will simply be an exercise in tedium, otherwise things could get quite nightmarish. Additionally the CM storms have in switch LEDs for the caps lock, scroll lock, and some other key that I cant remember. These LEDs will have to be desoldered as well (and when you put them in make sure they are the right polarity!)
