Razer Huntsman V2 Analog - replacement switches?

One of the keys fell out of the keyboard (the whole switch) leaving a gaping hole. On close inspection I can see spots on the bottom part of the switch where little plastic hooks sheered off. I guess those were supposed to hold the switch in place and now are somewhere inside the keyboard.

The key itself works when I put it back in and line it up properly which usually takes some effort and it’s not really stable.

Are there any replacement switches that I would just snap in the keyboard?

I encountered exactly the same problem, how did you solve it?

I haven’t but it keeps increasingly annoying me so I’m considering superglue. It’s now more of a decision between gluing it from the top or opening the keyboard chassis and gluing it from inside. The latter would enable proper cleanup because I sometimes get doublestrokes because of hair and gunk inside.

Just got the switches, bought on Aliexpress, but also saw on ebay. They cost about 3 euros with shipping, 4 pieces in the set, I put them in place of the broken one and everything works, including the pressing force is registered, like on the original switch. The sound seems to be slightly different, but it is almost unnoticeable. I don't know if it is possible to leave links here, but here is the name of the slot "V2 Liner Black Switch Hot-Swappable DIY Clicky Linear Optical Switch For Razer Huntsman Elite Mechanical Gaming Keyboard"
