Hi all, I have a quick and possibly very simple question. I have a keychron V6 with red switches being delivered to me tomorrow. I just want to know what switches and keycaps will fit this keyboard? This is my very first mechanical/swappable keyboard and I know nothing about it. I want to try other switches, mainly brown, blue and yellow. Also want to have a different look keycaps every now and then. I've searched on their site, but I had no idea which ones to choose. lol Thanks in advance.

Thank you. Do they charge for shipping? I noticed a lot of these sites charge a lot for shipping (almost the same price as the switches themselves sometimes lol). The issue with the sampling or a tester is that switches sound different on different keyboards(And I have not seen a single video about the V6), and I'm not sure if there are sites that just let you sample their stuff, are there? Oh boy, it already sounds like a long journey until I have a solid understanding of all of this. lol
