I'm looking forward to purchasing a Keychron K1 SE keyboard with optical switches (with Hot Swap), but I want to know if I'll be able to swap them for mechanical Gateron (low-profile I guess) or Cherry MX later?
How do you determine if the switch is compatible for a specific keyboard?

Simple answer is yes. You might want to stick to the switch options offered by Keychron since you seem to be new to the world of custom/semi-custom keyboards
Thanks for the link, but it seems they are discussing compatible optical switches. In my case I would like to know if a mechanical switch will fit (since the offer K1 SE both wih optical and mechanical).

I've just received an answer from Keychron support and they confirmed, that they are not compatible with each other.
