Are hot-swappable switches worth paying for?

Reviewer consensus

If you think you'll experiment with switch feel or sound, yes. Many picks here (ASUS Scope II 96, AULA F99/F75, Keychron HE boards, Logitech Alto) ship hot-swappable, letting you change switches without soldering. Reviewers note it future-proofs the board, though most buyers never actually swap them.
