I am doing what I can to find this information out myself, whether through experimenting or looking online, but one thing I am struggling to figure out is if my keyboard has hot swappable switches or not. I tried giving the switches a tug with a flat head screwdriver, but I am scared to break it and I don't have a switch puller. They seemed to be coming up on one side, but when I would start working on the other side it would pop back down on the initial side. Also, the switches have a brown "actuation point" with a white "base" and say Outemu on them.

I understand this is a cheap GameStop keyboard, but I got it in pretty nice condition from a thrift store for about $10US. I just needed something to make uni work more comfortable.

Thank you so much for any help! I can send photos if that helps.
