New to custom mechanical keybord, how do I check parts compatibility ?

[BeastMaster30300]

I recently came to know that modding a keboard was a thing and I found it sooo f-ing interesting and fun. I wanted to mod my K617(link below) so I got Akko V3 switches(link below) but they didnt fit, i saw a thread on reddit that a guy used these switched for K617 but I cannot find it right now . What do I look for when buying switches ? I also want to get textured PBT switches, add stabalizers and foam. 

Additionally can you suggest a good Canadian website for this, I dont wanna pay any import charges on this. 

 

(PS : I want a deep thocky sound)

They should be inter-changeable.

Make sure the one you get accepts hot switching, which means it's not soldered

Btw most switches use 3/5 pin, the difference is that 5 pin switches uses 2 extra legs for stability, but if you clip them off with a scissor it would fit into 3 pin slots

It looks like they are using Outemu hotswap sockets, which are not always compatible with a lot of other switches.

According to Akko, their V3 switches are only compatible with newer Redragon Keyboards, so make sure to look for that.
