V1 switch just needs a jig, simple. V2 switch picofly is affordable and accessible to diy with some soldering skills. With the OLED models they put one of the points underneath a BGA chip making that more difficult.

But getting one installed from an actual shop will still only cost the price of a Nintendo game or two.

I did my v2 and “accessible to diy” is, while true, overselling it. It’s accessible to people who already have extensive experience with soldering, though I suspect you could learn to do the specifics you need in a few days.

It’s at the point where it requires enough equipment and skill that I’d recommend just going to a shop for newcomers. But it’s easy enough that you don’t need really need an expensive microscope or rework station so for people who already have some experience under their belt it’s doable as long as they practice on junk boards down to 0201 sized components.
