AreRazer Analog Optical Switches Gen-2 hot-swappable?

Just bought Razer Huntsman Pro V3 TKL. I don’t quite like the mushy feel from its linear optical analogue swithes. Plus the press force is kind of heavy to me. I need to 100% confirm if the Optical Analogue Gen 2 switches pre-installed on Huntsman Pro V3 TKL are truly hot-swappable and not soldered on the pcb.  Please also list compatible versions of Razer optical clicky switches which can be used on this keyboard. Any confirmed information would be of great help. Thank you!

Not soldered, so they’re hot swappable… but there’s no clicky switch alternative (right now).

Thanks for the quick reply~ Would Razer purple optical switches be somehow compatible? I’m not sure if there is an optical version of purple switches on the market now as they are from some ten years ago.. To be able to take out the current switches, do I have to remove the top panel first or I can use the switch removal tool and go directly ahead pulling them up? Just don’t want to damage the pcb or the switches.. Thanks again!
