I recently purchased a Keydous NJ98 (dark/yellow color scheme, with Gateron Creamy Yellow switch) and it looks and sounds great. Also come pre-modded and pre-lubed.

However, this is a pretty costly way for me to discover that I prefer tactile switch to linier switch (I had used RK100(tape and foam modded) with its own RK brown switch and a cheap keyboard with Otemu brown before, and I really prefer how the brown switch feels like and sounds like.

So I plan to buy a bunch of Akko V3 Creamy Blue to replace Keydous NJ98’s gateron yellow.

However, I would like to know, how much risk are involved in my trying to change the keyboard switch ?

I am very serious about scratching the keycabs and the keyboard casing itself (they have very nice rubbery matte finish that might get scracthed by metal)

    It is hotswappable. Is it not recommended to pull the switch straight out of the PCB/gasket plate without disassembling them first ?
