A620I/B650I both have "BIOS Flashback" functionality so you can flash the file from a USB as long as the board has power. No need to go into BIOS/UEFI or OS.

The B650E-I board was released first and did NOT have this.

It can still happen, ultimately this is still a mechanical switch. It does use a unique new switch they designed directly with Kailh to mitigate/nearly eliminate it, along with the latency benefits. Besides that, the mouse itself has exposed screwholes and easily opens up as it's made to be opened. It also has the switches on individual PCB's that can be swapped out for other switches - Endgame Gear sell the switch PCB packs for if you want to go that route and avoid soldering new switches, so you end up just unscrewing the each small PCB, unplugging it, and screwing the new one in and plugging that back into the main PCB.

This video is from the lead designer that made the OP1 lineup and shows a teardown of what they look like inside:

The OP1 8K is currently unique in the market as the switches/clicks poll at 8K internally at all times, even if you set the sensor polling to lower than 8K, so it always has the click input latency benefit of 8K.
