You can still change switches if you're willing to solder and desolder, but other low profile switches won't really offer that much of an improvement...

Sorry buddy... You could sell it though (you will make a loss but not a complete loss) and put that money towards something more in line with what you really wanted? I mean something like a Royal Kludge will sound better, be easier to modify and not break the bank :) I found them great to learn on personally...

Having said that, if you like your keyboard keep it and enjoy it. You don't necessarily have to do what others do or even like/apreciate the same things.

A keyboard is not better because it meets the community's expectations and tastes. Its better because you like it or it suits your specific needs.

Personally I love a thocky keyboard but I also love my IK75 Pro with silent switches. There's nothing wrong with a bit of variety ;)

... The one thing you should get accustomed to though, is the idea that this hobby will inevitably result in you owning more keyboards than a normal human will ever need ehehehe

To me it sounds like a solid option if you get the hotswappable option with mechanical switches. They also have an aluminium version that might be worth it if thats within your budget.

Speaking of budget though, remember to assign some for a lube station (not essential) and good lube (pretty much essential for switches and stabs).
