Replacing the power switch on a Corne

My wireless Corne power switch broke. The small plastic switch that slides broke off. I can still kinda toggle the switch using a knife/blade, but it's difficult to use. Is there any guidance on how I can replace the power switch?

I'm sorry to hear your power switch broke! Unfortunately, we don't have specific documentation on replacing the power switch itself. It's a surface-mount component and can be tricky to replace without experience. If you're comfortable with soldering, you would need to desolder the old switch and solder a new one in its place. We don't sell the individual switches, but they are standard slide switches. If you're not comfortable with surface-mount soldering, it might be best to continue using a tool to toggle the switch or consider replacing the PCB. Let me know if you have any other questions!

This looks like the exact replacement sold directly from Typeractive? https://typeractive.xyz/products/power-switch?variant=45597854171367 how many solder points are there on these power switches?

no worries, clearly the AI was wrong about the Typeractive product catalog when it said "We don't sell the individual switches" 🤣 I'll try replacing it
