I'm mostly interested to know if in your opionion it will suddenly catch fire and create a short in my pc, or if it can be more or less considered safe.

edit: seems safe, since it has been sold for years https://www.massdrop.com/buy/e-element-rgb-keyboard/talk#discussions

This has Outemu hotswap sockets, so it will only allow Outemu switches to be used. A GMMK or a GK61 is a better choice.

https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/9qjmyh/what_switches_can_be_used_on_a_outemu/ This thread has some useful information about it. Seems to use a lot of switches you have to mod the switch pins.

Given the GMMK is 60 bucks without switches or keycaps, that seems like a better option.
