Cover shipping and I will solder it for you.
Thanks for the offer, but if I have to solder, I would rather do it myself. Might be able to find someone at my college that I can borrow an iron from.
Check your local libraries - several near me have makerspaces with 3d printers, laser cutters, soldering stations, etc. Everything is free with a card, you just may have to bring your own consumables (filament, solder, etc).
There are some smaller ones on aliexpress for reasonable prices, but still much more expensive per key than keyboards.
you can also get a pinecil soldering iron and some beveled tips (important for SMD soldering), some solder wire and some flux for about 50$ combined.
I just started soldering. It's not too difficult and super useful. Also adds a lot of options that are usually cheaper than hotswap.
A pinecil is 25$. add another 25 for solder, flux, a pump and copper desoldering braid and you're set up.
I found hotswap is increasingly difficult to get once you're looking for non-massmarket stuff outside of 60 or 65 keebs with ANSI Layout.
It's just faster to solder than to search for non-standard hotswap.
And with millmax, you can make any solderboard hotswap if you fancy.
