Good to know, I'll look out for those signs then, thanks a lot!

Praise iFixit. Soldering required does mean that I'll have to learn that first though. Do you have, by any chance, a recommendation for a sort of "intro to soldering" type of video/content that I can start with?

Sadly, I don't. I pretty much looked online for a recommended temp for my soldering iron, picked a tip that seemed appropriate, and slowly desoldered it.
Pro tips: get a tool to hold the circuit board for you. I didn't have one when I did it and it was a pain the ass. And actually dangerous because you have your fingers working near a very hot piece of metal.
Also the switches are connected by 3 rather spaced solder points. You'll have to balance heating all the solder points to keep it soft, and then use a pair of tweezers to slowly wiggle the switch out.
Putting the new switch in is easier. Just need to make sure you orient it correctly and make sure it isn't misaligned. Or else it might not click right. Thankfully it's not hard to line up.

Got it, thanks! Very specific advice, I feel a bit more secure now and I'll save this for when I have to replace the switches, that being hopefully never :P.
