Razer BlackWidow Tournament Edition and Gen 3 Razer Switchs

Question

Hello,I recently bought the new 3rd generation razer switches, however I have the 2014 BlackWidow Tournament Edition keyboard and I wanted your help to understand if they are compatible and if you could recommend any material that would help to change them. PS: Didn’t find anything useful in Razer FAQs

Hello again,After a lot of research, I discovered that they are compatible, but not in the same dimension as blackwidow v4 75% (hot swappable), it turns out that with other mechanical keyboards you have to desolder the old switch as well as the RGB led (2+4 = 6 pins), the gen 3 switches on the In place of the LED there is a transparent plastic that in place of the LED can be removed and replace the LED that comes out of the old switch.Worth it ?, i don't think so, its time consuming and you have to have soldering skills, maybe if you have a faulty switch, not to upgrade them (e.g gen 1 to gen 3)
