Idk the k65 just sounds better in my opinion and I don’t really mind it being wired I honestly wouldn’t use the wireless connection and there is always a very small difference in latency with wireless stuff just by my interactions with wireless things 🤷‍♂️

Hey mate get some flush cutters and you can just clip off the extra plastic pins with absolutely no worry or risk if you want to run the hotswap with different switches
