Product Description
With many Mech Keys users focusing so heavily on gaming, the Hello Ganss HS75T is a hot-swappable keyboard that takes that focus to heart. As its name suggests, the HS75T is a 75% board with excellent action courtesy of custom-designed stabilizers and solid build quality Read More
This is the first keyboard I've seen with the ability to swap an encoder for a switch. I'm assuming it did require special wiring so it's in that position only. Has anyone seen that elsewhere?
Rotary encoders typically need pads/holes for 5 pins (and potentially 2 retention clips); less if they do not have button functionality. It would require the PCB design to feature the pads and traces to allow switching, but it's not too uncommon these days. Specifically, Keychron boards have the option to swap the encoder for a switch (or vice versa). Some other modern customs and macro pads with rotary encoder support often have this feature as well.
That knob sits on top of a standard switch socket. It can be swapped out for a transparent knob, a metal knob, or it can be replaced with a regular switch for an additional key.
You will want a set that includes 1u Alt, Fn, and Ctrl keys since they are truncated to the right of the Spacebar. You may also want a row 3 PgDn key (it's traditionally a r4 key) if you want it to align with other keys on the row.
TLDR: Neither Redsuns 1800 or TKL sets will conventionally fit this or other similar 75% boards because they lack the 1u Alt, Fn, and Ctrl keys.
