Custom mechanical keyboards can be amazing pieces of tech, but they are also expensive and complicated to build. And, one part of the building process that, for many, can be intimidating is the soldering of switches. This is where hot-swapping comes in.<\/p>\n<p>A keyboard being hot-swappable means the PCB (which, simply put, is the circuit board inside the keyboard) has special sockets so that you can click switches into place and pull them out without ever needing to touch a soldering gun. Meaning, when it comes time for a change, you don\u2019t have to spend hours desoldering switches.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you\u2019re looking for a hot-swappable keyboard to get a taste of the custom mechanical keyboard world, these are your best options.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"admonishment_update\"><p><strong>Update, 6\/28\/21:<\/strong> Added four new picks, including two wireless options.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Look_for_in_a_Hot_Swappable_Keyboard\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"moka_anchor_whattolookfor\">What to Look for in a Hot Swappable Keyboard<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While the market surrounding hot-swappable keyboards right now is limited, it doesn\u2019t mean you should settle for just any board.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Layout:\u00a0<\/strong>Once you start looking into mechanical keyboards, you\u2019ll quickly realize how many layouts are out there. All of the boards on this list use either the Full, tenkeyless (TKL), 75%, or 60% layouts. TKL and 75% boards have most of the keys of a full board, minus the numpad. And, 60% boards are ultra-compact, usually cheaper, but lose a lot of keys in the process (such as the dedicated arrow keys). You\u2019ll need to decide what layout works for you.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Switch Compatibility: <\/strong>All of the boards on this list are compatible with any MX-style switch (brands like Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, and Outemu).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Additional Features:\u00a0<\/strong>RGB lighting, macros, or even just adjustable kickstands can go a long way to making your keyboard better\u2014both in looks and functionality.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Build Quality:\u00a0<\/strong>Mechanical keyboards aren\u2019t cheap, so you\u2019ll want to make sure the case that surrounds the PCB and the keycaps are worth the price tag. When it comes to keycaps in particular, you\u2019ll want double-shot keycaps for maximum longevity\u2014there are also the different plastics like ABS and PBT that can be used, with PBT generally being the better (but more expensive) option.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Connection:\u00a0<\/strong>If you decide to go wireless your options are a lot more limited. There are only two boards here with wireless support (the Keychron K6 and K8), meanwhile, every board here supports a wired connection. As time goes on more wireless boards will likely release, but for now, the choices are few and far between.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now that you know <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/310370\/all-those-confusing-mechanical-keyboard-terms-explained\/\">everything you need to know<\/a>, here are the best hot-swappable mechanical keyboards on the market.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Overall_DROP_CTRL_Mechanical_Keyboard\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"moka_anchor_bestoverall\">Best Overall: DROP CTRL Mechanical Keyboard<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-34583 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2020\/02\/f3ccdd27.jpg\" alt=\"Massdrop CRTL Keyboard\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">DROP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>DROP\u2019s CTRL keyboard has been praised for its deep customization options, and for good reason.

This 65% keyboard packs a Bluetooth connection, 72 hours of battery life (with RGB on, off it can last for around a week), and a ton of options to ensure the board matches your needs.<\/p>\n<p>You can choose to get this board with either Gateron Brown, Blue, or Red switches, white backlighting or upgrade to full RGB\u00a0, and a plastic or aluminum body. These options make sure the K6\u2019s hardware fits your tastes, but it is disappointing there\u2019s no software for the K6 to reprogram keys with. Keychron has stated it\u2019s working on software to be released within the next year, but for now, you\u2019ll just have to make do with how the keyboard is out of the box.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, Keychron programmed a ton of alternative functions into many of the keys, which makes the lack of software hurt less. All of these alternative functions are printed on the ABS keycaps, so you don\u2019t need to memorize the manual just to pause a video. It\u2019s a nice touch and ensures despite the compact layout, the K6 can still do everything you need it to.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wireless_and_Tenkeyless_Keychron_K8\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"moka_anchor_tkl\">Wireless and Tenkeyless: Keychron K8<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-89944 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/06\/799bad5a-3.jpg\" alt=\"Keychron K8 keyboard against white background\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" data-credittext=\"Keychron\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Keychron<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While we have a lot of the same to say about the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/stores\/page\/54673106-AD6E-42C2-A2E0-6689E2EA4249?ingress=2&amp;visitId=39e6f740-c66c-480e-981d-1dd1832b5245&amp;ref_=ast_bln&amp;tag=reviewgeek-20\">Keychron K8<\/a> as we did the K6, this is still a special keyboard. Because on top of the 72-hour long battery life (with RGB lighting on), Bluetooth\/wired connection, and a multitude of hardware options, the K8 uses the highly desirable TKL (tenkeyless)\u00a0 layout. This is great if you\u2019re transitioning from a full-sized keyboard, as you still get to save some desk space while keeping most of the keys. There are also plenty of alternative functions for many of the keys, and they\u2019re all printed on the corresponding keycaps (still ABS).<\/p>\n<p>Besides that, you can choose between white backlighting or upgrade to full RGB\u00a0, a plastic or aluminum body, and Gateron Blue, Red, or Brown pre-installed switches. The K8 packs hot swapping and wireless into one of the most desirable layouts around, and for that, it definitely deserves special praise. Unfortunately, there\u2019s no software for the K8, but Keychron has stated it\u2019s working on one to be released within the next year.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"For_Enthusiasts_Glorious_GMMK_PRO\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"moka_anchor_forenthusiasts\">For Enthusiasts: Glorious GMMK PRO<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-89945 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/06\/d0096ec6-3.jpg\" alt=\"Glorious GMMK PRO base kit against white background\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" data-credittext=\"Glorious \" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Glorious <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The final board we\u2019re mentioning today is very different from the others. Instead of giving you a completed keyboard you can use right away, the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamingrace.com\/products\/glorious-gmmk-pro-75-barebone-black-reservation\">GMMK PRO<\/a>\u00a0is more reminiscent of a keyboard kit that gives you a foundation you can build upon. Which is great because this can give you a taste of custom mechanical keyboards, without the effort that goes into researching and building a custom keyboard.<\/p>\n<p>While a lot of kits like this already exist, they\u2019re typically very expensive and aren\u2019t easily accessible\u2014two things Glorious has mostly addressed with the GMMK PRO. You need to reserve this kit in advance, and you\u2019ll get it whenever the next batch is released (Glorious keeps the store page updated with estimated shipping dates). It is annoying to an extent, but in comparison to the alternatives, Glorious has made this an extremely straightforward process.<\/p>\n<p>So what are you getting with this kit then? Well, the GMMK PRO is a high-quality, 75%, full aluminum keyboard (available in either \u201cBlack Slate\u201d or \u201cWhite Ice\u201d) with RGB backlighting. There\u2019s also a dial (for volume control and zooming) which, alongside the keys and RGB lighting, is reprogrammable in the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamingrace.com\/pages\/downloads\">GMMK PRO software<\/a>. What it doesn\u2019t come with are keycaps and switches, which is where you come in.<\/p>\n<p>You have to provide the keycaps and switches yourself, which will likely add another $50 to $100 to your final bill. You can buy switches and keycaps from a variety of sources, including <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamingrace.com\/collections\/keyboard\">Glorious itself<\/a>, along with websites like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thekey.company\/\">The Key Company<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mechanicalkeyboards.com\/shop\/\">MechanicalKeyboards.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in something a little bit more custom, the GMMK PRO is by far the easiest option. All you need to do is install the switches and keycaps in the same way you would for any hot swappable keyboard, but you can easily disassemble the keyboard if you want to modify it further. While you\u2019re not truly \u201cbuilding\u201d a keyboard, this is close enough to give you most of the advantages of a custom board without all the headaches.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
