Introduction

In this guide, you’ll learn how to replace the keyboard switch through on your Akko MOD 007 v2. It has two features that make it simple. The keyboard is hot-swappable, which allows you to replace the switch without soldering. In addition, when buying a replacement keyboard switch, the Akko MOD 007 v2 is compatible with both PCB-mounted (5-pin) and, Plate-mounted (3-pin) switches.

Replacing more than one switch can be reproduced by repeating these instructions.
