Just a really quick question, most likely a really idiotic one, but. Can I put switches on a keyboard that doesn't have them initially?

you can desolder cherry mx pin compatible switches and replace them with other cherry mx pin compatible switches

this will wreck your warranty and it's not recommended unless your keyboard is plate mounted because it hurts the structural integrity of the mount for pcb mounted switches

unless you have a specific reason, like using cherry mx clears on an obscure layout, it's probably cheaper (after electricity for soldering) and safer to buy a new keyboard instead
