This is possibly a duplicate if the difficulty of changing the keys for keyboard for a MacBook Pro [hasn’t changed since 2016](https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/264750/can-i-easily-replace-keys-in-the-new-2016-macbook-pro) but even then, my question differs slightly.
What I’m really interested in knowing is how challenging it is to replace individual keys for this kind of keyboard (M1 MacBook Pro 14’ 2021); more specifically, what kind of skill level is required to successfully do it? If I’m just a normal person who is careful and watches a YouTube video, is there still a good chance that I could ruin the keyboard? Are the keys soldered on or are they entirely detachable via some kind of mechanism, etc.
[Related Question](https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/429124/what-is-the-key-mechanism-on-the-macbook-pro-2021-keyboard) that doesn’t quite answer what I’m looking for; it identified that the keyboard hasn’t changed since 2019, but I suppose that implies there was a change in 2019, meaning the 2016 answer may not be applicable
