For something like this, I feel like the work to investigate the guts of the switch mechanism was overkill. I'd rather desolder it wholly, and try to find some component to replace it with. I have little faith in non-break-itude of teeny things when handled slightly incorrectly.

That being said, I once replaced the thumbsticks on an X360 controller due to stick drift. It was very fun to destructively open up the old mechanisms and see how they worked.

I also operate my sit/stand desk with a pair of tweezers, by shorting some pins on a breakout board.
