Cherry switches... Ever wonder???
If you could take a cherry switch from one keyboard and put it into another?
What they look like on the inside?

Now you know. I have a lot of soldering ahead of me and one big question do I make easier to press linear switches by putting the blue stem springs into the black stem switches or just stick w/ the blue stem switches...
I'll post back if and when I finish replacing all the switches on the SMK-88.

Couldn't you just have swapped the stems?

Look at how the switches are mounted. You can't reach the bottom side to release the top section. They had to be de-soldered.

Ahh, I see.
