GLORIOUS Model O: Main Discussion
All updates to this product will be posted below. Click 'Follow Product Status' to receive notifications when there are updates for this product.
Update: We’ve converted this review to Test Bench 1.1. This update adds several new tests addressing Hardware Customization, Macro Keys And Programming, and Wireless Mobile Compatibility. We’ve also added new objective evaluations to the Typing Noise test, and we’ve simplified several tests and removed several others that were no longer relevant. For an in-depth look at all our changes, you can see our full changelog here.

Pretty sure the switches aren’t actually soldered. You can pop them out, even without disassembling the keyboard, but it takes a bit of effort.
The optical emitter and receiver seem to be on the PCB itself, which just shines through the switch. The switch itself purely mechanical, nothing electronic that would require soldering.
You should probably double check the Huntsman V3 as well.

Hello giveprocs! Thank you for your feedback on this. You are indeed correct. We took apart our unit today and you can indeed remove the switches and see how they are purely mechanical.
We will edit the reviews for both Hunstman keyboards in the next few days.
Update: We’ve corrected an error in the Hardware Customizability section and changed the result of the Switch PCB Socket test from a Soldered to a Non-Customizable Design. We’ve also added new supporting text in this section.
