I just bought K5 with optical switches. Could I buy the Gateron mechanical switches and swap them?

No. Optical switches cannot be switched out with traditional mechanical switches at any time because they have different working mechanisms. If your keyboard is hot-swappable and comes in stock optical switches, it can only be hot-swapped with other optical switches and vice versa.

You can read this blog to learn more about their differences.
