3.1 Installing Mechanical Switches
The GK21S features hot-swappable Kailh connectors, allowing for easy installation and removal of mechanical switches without soldering. Ensure your switches are compatible with MX-style sockets (3-pin or 5-pin).
- Align the pins of the mechanical switch with the corresponding holes on the PCB.
- Gently push the switch straight down until it clicks into place. Do not force the switch if it does not align easily, as this may bend the pins.
- Repeat for all 21 switch positions.
