Hot Swap

"Hot" replacement of mechanical keyboard switches without the procedure of disassembling and soldering the manipulator. Hot Swap technology allows you to change one switch for another in a matter of seconds. This is convenient both when the switches fail, and when using the keyboard in different scenarios. Most often, the technology is used in advanced gaming devices.

Detachable cable

The presence of a removable cable in the design of the keyboard.

This feature provides, first of all, additional convenience in storage and transportation: it is easier to pack the removed cable than to wind and lay the wire attached to the keyboard. Another advantage is that if necessary, the complete cable can be replaced without changing the entire keyboard — for example, if it is damaged or if a longer cable is needed. However, these moments are not so often significant, so there are not so many keyboards with detachable cables.
