Some Questions About The K552

Hey I got my K552 about 2 weeks ago yesterday i completely opened it up because i wanna swap switches i posted the picture on the r/mk subreddit and the person who helped me said it was soldered i bought the k552 thinking it was hotswap it even says it on the box, even though the hotswap is only with outemu switches buti didn't care and now i am going to have to desolder the switches if i wanna swap but i don't have much experience with it so idk what to do i looked up tutorial and almost all had a desodering gun and those are way too expensive and i only have a little itty bitty of experience with soldering. so plz help with that and is it eazy?

 

also do any switches like gateron yellows or kaihua/kailh switches fit? since it isnt the hotswap version i was wondering about it. 

 

Sorry about my grammar or spelling i am not very good with that 😞

you should show a picture of the pcb so we can see if it's hot swappable

 

Here is some picture of mine for reference ... it was quite hard to remove the switches for the first time I did it.
