I kinda like that idea that you buy just board, add own switches and own keycaps. Wouldnt mind if more manufacturers did same.

Glad you disassembled it completely, was just asking on reddit some time ago, if someone did it. Wanted that for cable replacement (which seems easily possible).

Now I would just like if someone made same thing, but with PS/2 and USB options. Kinda doubt this would work on PS/2.

(EDIT: Found active USB to PS/2 .. well that thing is damn expensive, 109 EUR..)

Haha yeah, I was about to say that replacement internal USB cables are pretty expensive- especially USB to PS/2. You will have an easier time trying out an inexpensive external adapter, even assuming this works.

It works only if keyboard itself supports it. Doubt this one does. Making USB to PS/2 cable is pretty easy. Sadly finding keyboard that can use it and can have replaceable switches is a bit harder. If such keyboard even exists.

Typically I literally could not roll my eyes more when I see a product geared towards PC gamers with an over the top name (I'm looking at you, BenQ, and your RIDICULOUS "Zowie" products. This was supposed to be a short parenthetical thought but typing that name has ignited something deep within me and FUDSKDJDKJF that is a stupid, stupid name for ANYTHING other than a strain of marijuana. Phew, aneurysm avoided.) but this I'm cool with. Yeah, the company name is silly but the product name itself is really as straightforward as it gets. Did I read the review? No. But the name is cool.

Well, maybe you might be interested to read the review now that you think the name is cool
