To me the obvious mod would be to buy a mechanical switch (rocker or push 
on/push off) from Maplins, Farnell or wherever that fits in the hole left 
when you remove the soft switch. Use a bit of acrylic or epoxy-glass 
sheet to block the hole/form a mount for the switch and Bob's your auntie.
 
Get the plastic or epoxy-board from your local friendly model shop (if 
you're lucky enough to have one in these degenerate times) or off eBay.
