With the software pulled from the site, you cannot even change it in Windows.

That would depend on if you can find a USB-C to ps2 adapter or USB-C to ps2 cable. Should work with either of those solutions.

Is this board hot swappable?

A shopper on Feb 25, 2022

BEST ANSWER: In my experience they are not hot swap-able, they switches are soldered to the board itself - don't do what I did and literally rip out the switch.

Satisfied

Very satisfied with the quality. I like the design, simple layout. First time using linear switch, and I like it more then tactile ones. only downside would be the pinging noise; not as bad as the cheap $20 amazon one that I've been using, but it is definitely present.

Perfect

I like this keyboard for gaming because it is smaller but that's because the design has gotten rid of what I don't need. It is solidly built, great key response, nicely backlit and I think this is going to last for a long time. This was a great buy I wish I purchased first, replacing another that was junk in comparison.

Great keyboard for the price

Real Cherry MX Red switches for this price is amazing. The keyboard seems well built. I don't really care about the LED backlighting functionality so I can't comment on that.
