Alright, I just swapped all of the switches on my keyboard. 

 

Here is me in the middle of removing all of the old box royals.  I didn't know whether they were old stock or not, so I decided to be safe.

 

 

The two holes on the side means that the keyboard supports hot swapping PCB mounted switches as well.  Not all hot swappable keyboards allow that, so it's nice to see.

 

 

I think that I should justify my multiple switch choice.  The main keyswitches are box royals since they are my favorite.  The keys that I don't want to accidentally press are box navies, since they have a heavier spring. The boc navies being real clicky also means that I will immediately know when I accidentally press them as well.  So no more typing half a sentence in all caps because I didn't know that I accidentally pressed caps lock. 

 

The box reds are like cherry reds, but 5g heavier on the actuation.  So 50g actuation rather then 45g.

 

I made that decision purely for gaming reasons, since they have lighter springs then the box royals, they take less effort to actuate (holding shift to run will be much easier now) while this decision was primarily ment for the left shift, I decided to apply the box reds to all of the modifier keys (except for windows for what should be obvious reasons) for consistencies sake.

 

 

Here are the new keycaps, double shot PBT, they look nice in my opinion.  The cherry blossom was the spacebar that I ultimately went for.

 

Ok, so interesting discovery.  The transparent plastic in the red and blue keycaps are tinted their respective color.  That actually explains the price, tinted PBT is rather expensive, but it kinda messes up my previous color settings.   The biggest difference is in the function row.  Those are all pink, but due to the tint, the blue keycaps take on a purple look.

 

 

You can slightly see the difference in color here.  Look at the 7, then the numlock, as you can see, the numlock is more blue, even though they are set to the same color. 

 

 

Much better, and yeah, now I definitely think that the cherry blossom spacebar looks better. 

 

Side view. 

 

Alright, so removing the switches were mostly straightforward, but some of them required quite a bit of effort to remove, it's also true that I had a few dead switches, but that wasn't because they were defective. 

 

As you can see, the copper pin is bent, which is not how it is supposed to look like.  This was from accidentally inserting the switch at too extreme of an angle.  After replacing the offending switches, it works just fine.

 

I think that I'm going to replace my spacebar with a hacko royal, a bit heavier then the box royals, so I think it will be nice.  I need some time to come to a conclusion about my setup. 

 

Also, @Den-Fi.com You were curious about compatible keycaps due to you having the same keyboard as me, so I'm tagging you.
