Nope, they can't. This is not your micro switch gateway drug ... this is the dirty stuff for the allready addicted :P
Dorkvader has converted at least a few hall effect boards, so can be done at least with some variants. I think I recall seeing XMIT working on something too. Apparently some versions will work as normal switches. I have not looked into it myself though. It's on the to do list :)
As far as I understood it, Dorkvader has worked with single switches. And the thread XMIT likes to take credit for has also not gone anywhere as far as converting complete keyboards is concerned.

(sry XMIT/Dorkvader if I'm mistaken here)

Yours still hasn't sold? Considering someone is willing to pay in excess of €35 more than that for a standard Swedish one (with more than 3 days to go!), maybe it's time for you to consider a custom keycap order with Unicomp ;)

I don't particularly fancy Model Ms, but those square badges are the nicest of the lot!

I know, I'm about to put it up on ebay but I really don't want to go that way. Patience. I'm only selling it because I have four of these. Tell all your swedish friends Khers! :lol:

Honestly if I had the money right now I'd be all over that square label M so I could get rid of my later models. Having to buy a new car really does set you back!

Yeah but ISO isn't exactly the right layout for you, for a Swede on the other hand...

Orihalcon has been "the" source for these for a couple of years now.

I highly recommend buying one of his with xwhatsit installed (I did!), that is a fussy soldering job and the xwhatsit itself sells for $35.

That one is far nicer than mine was.
