Race3 Switch Replacement
« on: Sun, 10 June 2018, 01:38:20 »
I was wondering has anyone tried changing out the race 3's switches? I got a MX-Blues which I am not overly fond of. I liked MX blues are thought they where safe when I got the board but have now grown up to other switches. I was wondering if anyone has replaced switches on a Race 3 or maybe just any Vortex board? I also noticed the switches this board has are pretty nasty looking. They bur's on the tops of every slider like they didn't trim them properly.


I have only de soldered a few switchs but they did have thought hole LED's which were nightmare to remove. This board obviously has no led's

I have desoldered Pokers, but never a Race, though I do want to try this board.  If you were able to do a board with LED's then you should be fine.  One thing I will say is that at least on the Poker, the pads are very delicate and lift up easily.

I'm not sure of the burrs you are referring to.
