The differences between switches are significant. The loud, tactile click of blue switches lets you feel the moment of actuation, reducing hand fatigue when typing. Brown switches have a quiet but noticeable actuation point, making them an optimal solution for gaming and work. Linear yellow switches travel downright "smoothly", taking the enjoyment of gaming to the highest level. A big advantage of these switches is also their quiet operation.
Exactly: each type of switch offers a different "feel" and sound. So what if you want to configure your keyboard with different switches, for example on the WSAD keys? The answer is keyboards with hot-swap technology.
Hot-swapping with no compromises.
When you choose a keyboard, you choose one specific type of switch. Blue, brown, red, yellow: they're all built into a particular keyboard model by default. But there are keyboard models you can freely configure to your own preferences. One such model is the MODECOM Volcano Hammer 2 RGB. Its replaceable switches let you swap any Outemu Box switch (it must be an Outemu Box switch) for another Outemu Box model. If you choose the MODECOM Volcano Hammer 2 RGB with brown switches, you get a keyboard with Outemu Box Brown. Now you can customise your keyboard by buying other Outemu Box switches available on the market. So you might put Outemu Box Blue on the WSAD keys, and any other switch you see fit on any other key. And you don't need a technical degree or even manual skills, because swapping a switch is child's play. Just pull out the switch and insert another. Simple, pleasant and fast. After that, you have a keyboard perfect for everything: gaming, work or study. And with no compromises.
As with the MODECOM Volcano Hammer 2 RGB, the same technology is used in the MODECOM Volcano Gamer 96 BT keyboard. The difference is that this second model is fitted with Gateron switches.
How do you replace switches correctly?
1. Make sure what type of hot-swap sockets your keyboard has.
2. Buy a switch from the same manufacturer, in the same technology, in the switch colour of your choice.
3. Remove the keycaps using a keycap puller.
4. Pull out the switches you want to replace with others. You can do this with tweezers.
5. Insert the new switches in exactly the same position as you removed the old ones. The point is to fit the switch contacts in the right place.
6. Put the keycaps back on.
7. Enjoy your own custom keyboard 😊
