Yes, if you disassemble the keyboard, desolder the switches and LEDs, and solder in new ones. That's what I did with my G710. It takes a few hours, but it's not particularly difficult.

Hi all,

I want to change the switches on my Steelseries Apex M500.

Currently it has Cherry MX Reds, but I would like to change them.

Is it possible?

Thanks in advance :)
