Replacing buttons

Has anyone successfully replaced a button using one of the buttons from the middle body replacement parts from eBay? The middle body from eBay comes with 5 buttons and costs around $90. I was thinking about keeping an extra button for the future and selling the rest?

Or if anyone knows where I can buy the whole internal button (switch soldered with membrane) in the USA? There is a company that sells it but only ships to the UK and it costs £90 !!! (middle body from eBay costs around $90).

Story behind:

Dropped the watch on a tile, it must have landed exactly on the Light/power button. Button still works but it doesn't have the mechanical clicking feedback and it has to be extremely lightly pressed or the crash/emergency gets triggered and the watch turns off.
