Also that power supply, Honeywell / microswitch used to have a huge market share for those sorts of components and it looks a lot like it could be one of their paddle/lever rocker switches, maybe AML33EBA4AA01. I don’t think microswitch components are easy or cheap to come by anymore but salecom do knock off versions of lots of them that will likely suit your needs
I also got into computers, thinking about it now, the tactile aspect was probably part of it. A power button making fans go whir and hard drives making slight crunchy noises and my keyboard with real springs… I miss a lot about that.
