Logitech’s MX Mechanicaland its “Mini” siblingare the maker’s first productivity-oriented mechanical keyboards.
In case you don’t know, most mechanical keyboards come withremovable keycaps.
Is It Possible To Change Keycaps On MX Mechanical Keyboards?

They use removable parts with a standard MX format.
There are, however, two points to consider, which may be deal-breakers for you.
The first one is that you’ll need to see if the keycaps fit vertically into the switches.

Standard MX keycaps, either high or low profile, should work.
However, higher models with non-standard stem heights won’t go all the way down when pressed.
Stems are of the same height in both the regular MX Mechanical and the Mini versions.

The second one is that some keys themselves don’t follow standard sizes.
Some larger onesShift, Enter, Backspace, and so onhave wider stabilizers than most keycaps.
A great place to look for information on keycap sets that fit the MX Mechanical is Reddit.
Users reported being able to use caps from companies likeKeychronandNuphy, with varied levels of success.
However, the stem positions are different from the ones used by any other manufacturer.
Are Switches On the MX Mechanical Keyboards Replaceable?
The switches on Logitech’s MX Mechanical keyboards aren’t hot-swappable.
Therefore, I don’t recommend that you replace them at home.
It is possible toremove the switches from the board and solder new ones.
However, this procedure isn’t without risks, and should be done by a professional.
