Possible to remove MX Blue switches (desolder) and use them for a hotswap keyboard? (self.mechanicalkeyboards)

Hey guys. I just got a Genesis Thor 300 TKL keyboard which doesnt work from my brother. I've got a Glorious GMMK v1 TKL keyboard. Is it possible to desolder the MX Blue switches from the broken Genesis keyboard and use them in the Glorious keyboard which at least to my knowledge is hotswappable?

Thanks in advance!

Ive got one (not the one you mentioned) which is quite good. I don't think its quite at the level of the one you said, but it should be decent.
