Are there mechanical keyboards whereby switches can be replaced when such problem occurs? I also not sure if such issues are due to the switches or the PCB board...

Some of the armaggeddon rebranded keyboard from china can change switch. But I know my tecware phantom tenkeyless can change switch also. It comes with 3 or 4 spare switches with the keyboard.

So issues are usually the switches itself? That's why these brands provide the spare switches? I think Logitech one cannot replace its Romer keys, need soldering...

I have a Ducky One (micro USB) at office and a Corsair K70 white RGB at home. Although the Ducky has no RGB and was around half the price on discount I find that it is far nicer feel to type on compared to my Corsair.

Both Are Cherry Red switches.

I used to have K70 but feels clunky and hollow. At first RGB looks nice but after a while, you get tired of it. Not as solid as Filco and Ducky.

Although I don't like the feel I do like the software features Corsair offers with iCue. So I want to improve the current keyboard.
I bought the Corsair in US so no local warranty.

Planning on lubing up switches for starters. Then replace the key caps to PBT.
After that I want to try using o-rings to see if it makes a difference.
Next would be the stabilizers, mainly the spacebar. I hate it now. I want to replace the spacebar keycap and the stabilizer lets see how much of an improvement it brings.

Maybe I will even desolder a few switches and replace them with Gateron to see if that makes a difference

Using hyperX alloy fps and alloy elite rgb (bought recently at 149) via lazada. Cherry MX browns.

Both are nice. Fps keys are pretty loose and come off easily.

Filco and ducky are good.

Not sure are mine still around but right now am using k70 lol

Not that bad actually but it is true that Filco and ducky feels better to type for long hours
