Swapping a PCB (self.mechanicalkeyboards)

I am still learning the hobby, but recently I found a keyboard I really like, however it has bluetooth (yikes). I'm not a fan of Bluetooth for keyboards that I will 100% use wired, and it doesn't seem there is a way to disable the Bluetooth via Firmware or Hardware switch.

The board is a Zoom TKL. Is it possible to swap the PCB with another PCB that does not have Bluetooth included? I'm guessing TKL is a pretty standard format? If so, would anyone mind pointing me in the right direction?

Thank you for the reply. I thought about that, but I think the BT is on the main PCB, so as long as it has power, the BT will be on (wired or wireless). At least as I understand it.

You're right. I had a brainfart and confused that bt function would be disabled without battery. And you wanted a hard switch, sorry.

No worries :)
