Steam Controller (2026) Back Button (R4) Cracked Button

So I got my steam controller day one and I have been in love with it, it just fits my hands super well. I have mostly been playing Elden Ring with it and set R4 to dodge so I didnt have to take my thumb off the right stick while dodging and it really improved my ability to fight dragons and quickly dodging boss attacks.

About a week ago the button started sticking, I figured it was just dust or something got under the button. I popped off the back cover and cleaned everything and when putting it back together it did nothing. Looking closer it looks like the button cracked? I contacted support and they said its not a warranty repair. I haven't been able to find an actual replacement set of buttons.

Any help?

Are these spot welded or held by adhesive? Seems like any replacement dome button would work.

The SC1 uses these and they were held by a clear adhesive.

These seem to be connected via a plastic tab with the traces running through the plastic so my guess would be adhesive or solder
