I have a Logitech G710+ that the '3' key on the main part of the keyboard had stopped working and I'm not the best with the soldering iron, and have never desoldered anything in my life. To make it even more complicated, is that the key has an added white LED.

I had a CherryMX switch fail. I bought a handful of switches off EBay 
and had attempted to do it myself. It sounds like my soldering skills 
are on par with yours. I did a horrible job and ended up with having s 
friend that was good with a soldering iron fix my fix.

Anyway, the switches themselves are cheap and there are just 3 solder 
points to deal with. Any one with reasonable soldering skills can do it.
