Building the Tempo with a solder PCB will require additional tools (a soldering iron) to install switches. However, it enables additional layouts.
The hotswap PCBs don't require any additional tools and allow you to easily swap out switches thanks to Kailh hotswap sockets that are pre-soldered onto the PCB.
Both hotswap and solder PCBs are wired-only.
The solder version takes a bit of patience with the iron, but the extra layout options are totally worth it for someone who likes fiddling with key arrangements. I used the hotswap one before and this feels more customizable for my weird split spacebar setup.
The solder PCB opened up way more layout options than I expected, and honestly the extra hour with the iron was worth it. It's nice to have a board that feels fully mine once I'd picked my own switch positions.
Soldering the switches took me an evening but the layout options on this PCB made it totally worth it. Being able to move past the standard setup and customize the rows is exactly what I needed for my desk setup.
