Can the switches be swapped for non optical versions?

Can the Gateron optical switches on this board be replaced with standard Gateron switches?

BkeyThey cannot because of the pins on standard electric switches. Having said that, however, you *can* interchange springs and stems from electric switches. Only caveat is that the tip of the stem extends far enough to break the light beam. I had no change in performance with a Gateron and Kailh stem.

I've purchased and returned this keyboard on Amazon. Pros:

The stock white PBT keycaps are excellent
Gateron Optical Browns are super smooth and feel great in this board

Cons:

The software is atrocious ("hideous," Thomas might say) and PC-only
The keyboard controls on the fn layer are fixed, as is the position of the fn key. Thus, most of the rightmost keys are unavailable for remapping or macros, including backspace, which was a dealbreaker for me.

Notes:

Another Skyloong board with darker caps and Optical Blues didn't feel nearly as good

If you're fine with the stock key layout, getting this keyboard for $50 is a steal.

Thanks for pointing that out. I remember trying that project now: never could get the GUI to work, though I think the cli worked fine.

As a happy GK64x owner, I was hoping to be able to purchase a set (or two) of the keycaps sans board - that combo of 2u/1u shift and 1u menu/Fn keys is hard to find. I found the white/grey and pink/green combos on AliExpress here for anyone interested: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001077597954.html No luck on the Dolch set though (sorry).
