can I solder a nice!view to a no-solder kit
A few months back I bought a corne kit (low-profile, 6 col), but at the time I didn't get the nice!view displays
Now, I'm considering buying the nice!view displays, but I heard that its better to solder it, rather than no-solder, especially for the displays.
If I buy the no-solder option, is it still solderable in the future. Like initially I would be able to connect it with the no-solder headers, but later when I have more time, I would go back and solder it for a better, more stable connection.
If not, am I able to buy a solderable nice!view and solder it to my no-solder corne?

Yes, you can solder a nice!view to a no-solder Corne kit in the future.
Even with the no-solder headers, the PCB still has soldering pads for the nice!view. You can use solderable nice!views with your no-solder Corne.
Check out the nice!view guide for more info.
Let me know if you have any other questions!

If you have nice!views with your build, this guide will go over installing the sockets and headers. If you don't have nice!views, you can skip this guide.
Are the no-solder options still solderable though? Like I know that they can be used without soldering, but if I wanted to, could they be soldered?
