Apart from the guarantee...

solder a new switch instead of the broken one

You could desolder that one switch and try taking it apart and repairing it.

I'm not sure how easy it is to get the clicker back on the slider.

Hey, I did that once!  I ended up desoldering it and replacing it (see the Cherry MX key removal Guide (http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Island:12649)).

You can try just jamming it back in and not ever pulling that key again.  See the itty bitty broken tab?

If I jam it in, can I still use that key?

Sure.  All the tab does it prevent it from coming out accidentally.

Treat it like it's your GF and it'll be fine.

So you want him to buy it dinner? That might just work.

If you remove the keycaps, you void the warranty.

How do you have sex with a Blue Switch? Apart from that, how did it happen? Did you jank it out of it, or did you gently wiggle?
