Is there a keyboard that has the optical switch built into the key assembly?
Thank you, g

While i do have K100 RGB with OPX switches, i haven't had time to take it into service as of yet. Currently using Corsair Strafe RGB with Cherry MX Silent switches.

You had my hopes up. Looks like the optics is part of the board, same for the magnetic. Any other key boards? See vidio at fraim:

Keychron K6 can have optical switches and those are hot-swappable as well. So, optical is part of the key switch and not the board.

Keychron K7 is the slim version, while also offering optical hot-swappable switches,

Asus TUF Gaming K7 also has optical switches,

Best I can find the switches I see the LED and the photo-sensitive element are soldered on the PCB under the key. Do you have a fefferance that shows otherwise? I had a herd time finding pics. May be later modals are like you say.
Thank you, g

Best to contact KB manufacturers directly and ask it from them. They know the answer.
