Hey guys. I just got a Genesis Thor 300 TKL keyboard which doesnt work from my brother. I’ve got a Glorious GMMK v1 TKL keyboard. Is it possible to desolder the MX Blue switches from the broken Genesis keyboard and use them in the Glorious keyboard which at least to my knowledge is hotswappable?

Thanks in advance!

    I wouldn’t call myself skilled by any means, but I have some experience with it, and have some tools available (flux, wick, etc)

        Yeah with the right tools and experience it’s possible. I always struggle with desoldering through-hole components without overheating.

        Ive got one (not the one you mentioned) which is quite good. I don’t think its quite at the level of the one you said, but it should be decent.
