is dactyl manuform having hot-swap function a good idea? - eviltoast

I have do some research about doing dactyl manuform, and I see people mostly solder directly diodes and copper wire to the switch. So i want to know that if i build dactyl manuform with hotswap function, will there have some problems which can kill my board? And when comparing handwired and hotswap. which is easier to do if i’m a beginner? And another question: is reset buttons neccessary for this build? (because i saw many guides are always including this component)

    I have a dactyl manuform and for the life of me cannot get any of the keyboard commands to actually reset the board. So I have a reset switch on mine for that reason.

        QMK. I dunno what the issue is, but the reset button took care of it, so I never really bothered to look into it after that.
