  some keys are not working as expected
  
  You seem to assume that you can solve the problem by replacing the switches. But that may not be the case. If the cause of the problem is the PCB, replacing the switches won't help. 
  The Cooler Master website says that the warranty is 2 years. You're much better off sending it for warranty repair/replacement than acquiring the equipment and supplies to turn this one into a hotswap board -- which might cost more than buying a new CK530v2 -- and which might not even result in a working keyboard if the PCB is the source of the problem.
context: I got a GMMK Pro as a holiday gift and I'm very interested in the keyboard space now a days.  Been building PCs for years, but want to explore another tech hobby.  This would be my first time exploring a keyboard like this.
  I'm going to use panda switches and will replace the stabs with ZugGear V2 (screwed in)
  In regards to the lube for the switches and stabs, since these are tactile switches, I was reading that KryTox 205g0 is a good brand. 
  But does it matter that much as long as it's a form of dielectric grease?
  I might be overthinking this lol >
  
  Ahh gotcha.  So the dielectric grease for just the stab wire, but for the stab housing and switches, the KryTox is recommended?
  Follow up question.  Do you know of any useful/reputable guides for lubing switches and stabs? >
  
  To the first part, yes. Dialectic for wires, krytox/tribosys for everything else. You could also use krytox for the wires if you don't want to buy a separate thing but many people don't recommend it.
  For guides, I found Taeha Types, Alexotos, and Keybored to all have good youtube guides for lubing. >
  
  Much appreciated! >
  
  You can also check out BlackSimon's youtube for more information as well. They're usually longer in duration, but much more informative into the details >
  
  Is there any review of the keychron silent pro switches ? Are they good? Any idea when they will be available again? I couldn't find any information or review of them.
  They are prelubed, so I am thinking of ordering them over the gateron silent switches as I really dont want to lube the switches myself.
  Or is lube not so important? It's my first ever mechanical keyboard, so I won't know the difference anyway? >
  
  The best part of silent switches is they make less noise, so the only other factor becomes push feel and smoothness.
  Lubed silent switches feel smoother then unlubed, but I swap the springs out on mine anyways; so I may as well lube mine in the process. 
  If it’s your first, I think pre-lubed is fine to help you get a mechanical keyboard in-hand to use. >
  
  Im new to this world and tough about making my own first custom budget keyboard however im more into the visual part. Im currently looking for a keyboard/barebone that has Side leds (Like the GMMK 2/PRO) or full ring leds (Like the KBD75).
  The options i already checked were the fallowing ones:
  -TM680
  -Akko 5075s
  -tecware spectre
  -marsgaming mk4
  -hexgears impulse
  I would like to know if there are other budget alternatives?
  Also i don't care if its a full keyboard as long as it can be moded in the future.
  Thanks >
  
  Yeah pretty sure the option best fitting your requirements is the akko 5075s >
  
  Boomerang60 - still in IC >
  
  Holy shit it somehow got shipped to my man over here instead of me (laminar) >
  
  Will durock v2 stabs work with an Alice layout board? Specifically the keychron q10 >
  
  Are tactile switches much louder than linear? I currently am using a build with epsilon switches and am interested in trying tactile switches for the new build I am working on. I was thinking about getting boba u4t switches but don’t want to if they are going to be much louder. >
  
  It depends on the switch. Some are a little bit louder, most won't be. >
  
  Looking for a nice dark blue cherry profile keycaps set. Should be very high quality, price doesn't matter too much. No worries if it's only available in group buys too. Got any suggestions? >
  
  GMK Blue Samurai Custom Keycap Set is the only one group buy dark blue keycap set i know of that high quality . most high quality keycap sets are group buy only >
  
  Thank you, i‘ll look into it! >
  
  My wife loves her Ajazz K870T but it now won't charge or connect via USB-C. We've tried all different cables, chargers and outlets with no luck. I know it's a long shot asking about something so specific, but if anyone has had a similar issue or has any suggestions for fixing it, I'd love to hear about it. Thanks! >
  
  I have been scouring the internet for days trying to find this keycap set ever since I missed out on a listing on Mercari. From what I’ve deduced, it was a group buy in China a little while ago, and the official name translated to English is “New Zealand Manor.” I HAVE found a single listing for them here but I know this site typically just resells and up charges Aliexpress stuff. Which leads me to believe they have to be out there somewhere for cheaper (and I would prefer the set without the legends which this site doesn’t sell.) Any help is greatly appreciated :) >
  
  Anyone have some advice on deciding between a NuPhy Halo75 and Keychron K2 Pro (Aluminum Frame)? Both were released recently so there isn't a huge amount of reviews/testimonials imo.
  Leaning towards the Halo75 due to having 2.4G wireless which I'd prefer to use rather than wired mode for gaming. I also slightly dislike the stock keycaps on the K2 because the F key colours alternate abit unevenly.
  Thanks in advance for any feedback :) >
  
  Hi everyone!
  As I was saying, I have a Cooler Master CK530v2 (red switches) but after 1 year of use, some keys are not working as expected. I don't know if I can apply for the warranty but if not, I really want to repair it (my wife gave it to me last Christmass so it has a sentimental value for me).
  I read here that this keyboard uses Gateron switches but I took off one of the keycap and the switch is labeled as TTC so I'm a bit confused.

  If I'm going to replace all switches, which one do you recommend? I got used to this linear switch, but I'm thinking in some tactile alternative too.
  Also I have a few questions:
  
  I know it takes a lot of time, but which tools and supplies do I need to transform from soldered to hotswap switches?
  Can I do the hotswap to the 4 pin RGB leds?
  
  Thanks in advance!
