Hello everyone, thank you for your message. I bought a Bloody B945 but am not satisfied with the switches included. I thought I could swap them out if necessary, but it seems the Bloodies rely on optical switches. My concern is whether this keyboard can work with Cherry MX or similar switches, and if not, what alternatives should I consider and where to find them. Thanks.

Considering purchasing this keyboard and being cautious about the proprietary switches, you wonder if it's possible to replace them with standard mx pin switches using the same solder pattern.

Comparing other keyboard designs, optical keyboards are limited to optical switches. However, various options exist, so you should feel comfortable testing them.
