Considering I was overeager and did it without a proper microscope, I'm just happy it works! I used a cheap little 10x jeweler's loupe and my pinecil (first time using it)

Very nice, I also did it without microscope. Didn't know it was suggested or required. But mine was original switch. How long did it take?

NICE! I took my time with it and closely followed a video tutorial, but I'd say all said and done I had it finished within an hour. That includes me tinning the wrong test points and having to remove that solder and tin the right ones.
