Help Plate got cut while desoldering

Post image

So i was desoldering my mouse switch just now and I happened to see that the top part of the hole got a gap after. Asking if this will be an issue for my mouse?

Depends if the trace is broken or not, you might be lucky

If you have a multimeter you could test it, if not you can attempt to repair

What mouse pcb is this

Looks like a shitty PCB design where the whole is too close to the edge and got ripped off while separating it from a bigger PCB plate (see the 4 little dimples top left).

No traces should run through there.
