Title: hot-swappable pcb for KBD75v2?
Post by: Kukulcanvs on Mon, 06 May 2019, 19:31:35

Hi geeks,

I am new to this community and really excited to build my first custom keyboard.

Been looking around and I think I want to go with KDBfans 75v2 as my first build. But it seems that the pcb that's included in the kit is not hot swappable?

So question is how to tell if a pcb is hot swappable or not? Any recommended hot-swappable pcb for KBD75v2?

Thanks!

I don't think there is a hot-swappable pcb for the kbd75. You have to convert the pcb to hot-swappable yourself.  You can search for hot-swap sockets. I think they are called mil max? Not sure though...

I personally haven't done what this video shows, so take it for what it's worth.
