Hi Cagdaspolat!
Technically, yes. If you buy the K70 RGB TKL Champion Series, the OPX optical switches aren’t soldered to the board, and you can remove them. However, the PCB only has pinouts for optical switches. Furthermore, it isn’t something that Corsair advertises or recommends, and they don’t currently sell replacements for their OPX optical switches.
That said, we’ve seen some people online suggest that you can replace the stock OPX optical switches with Gateron optical switches, but we haven’t tested this ourselves.
Hopefully, that provides you with the information you were looking for. Thanks for reaching out to us with your question.
Update: Converted to Test Bench 1.3.1.
