I suck at soldering and would like another way to attach my Dupont wires to my on-off-on switches.
The switch has flat 2mm wide pins that I would like attach my wires with Dupont pins to. Is there any possible way?
Yes, One time only. Put the pin through the hole and bend over tightly.

Maybe you can find Quick Disconnects that are small enough. You crimp the wires with a crimping tool and they can be used as a permanent or temporary connection.
For temporary connections, Alligator Clips or Hook Jumpers.
If this is going to be your hobby you need to learn how.

Your lack of soldering ability is a crutch and will get worse as you dabble into electronics. Get a decent temperature controlled iron and practice. I generally still use lead based solder it works the best for me. Use a good flux, not plumbers materials. Use a flux or solder designed for electronics with a flux core. The solder should flow like water when the joint is properly heated, if not you do not have enough heat which is either the iron is not big enough or the temperature is to low. U use about 700F and my joints solder rapidly. Tabs like on your switch take more time as there is more metal to heat. There are many good tutorials on line about soldering. This can be learned in a few hours.
