A:AnswerThe switches on this particular keyboard are called the Cherry MX Siver Speed Switches, they offer on of the lowest input latency, which were supposedly made with one intent in mind, for strenuous typing sessions.
If you're extra careful, you can ever treat them as of they were a silent switch, like the gateron silent reds for example.
A:AnswerIn this case, a warranty would be more efficient in dealing with this issue, but Corsair themselves said to me personally. That any damage caused by the misuse of their product (cosmetics/tweaks, a.k.a. soldering) , Therefore, wouldn't be covered by the waranty.
So, in my humblest opinion, I would recommend to leave this problem to people who know how to use a soldering iron from personal experience. In other words, don't go out of your way to buy a soldering iron, just because you think it might be easy in your eyes.
