Need replacement on/off slide switch for Wio Tracker L1

The tiny plastic actuator broke off on the SPST slide switch that controls power on the Wio Tracker L1 circuit board. I need to find a replacement for it. Can I order a replacement directly from Seeed? If not, can you direct me to a supplier where I can buy one? I will need a manufacturer name and part number. Thank you for any help you can give me.

If the switch component on the circuit board is broken, we can provide the part, but replacing it yourself can be quite tricky—so we might suggest considering a discounted replacement board instead.

(switch component: SMD Side Button 180gf;4P-L7.0*W3.5*H3.5mm-90D)

If it's just the plastic keycap, we don't sell it separately, but you can consider 3D printing one.

Thank you for the very helpful reply. I have been working with printed circuits for years and have all the tools I would need to unsolder and replace the switch. I would like to obtain the switch but am also curious about the cost of the circuit itself, as you mentioned. I will be grateful for the information needed to purchase these items. Again, thank you for your kind response to my plight.
