    Depending on the break I have good luck with hobby level super glue and the spray on accelerator. I also reinforce it with some thin fiberglass cloth and super glue over the cracks on the back or inside of the part. An interior guy I work with uses this technique on 40+ year old plastic to reinforce it, it works pretty good.

    Very small switch,so I can't put any kind of backer or support on it.

    Any cyanoacrylate should work. Most hobby shops have a decent selection.

    Most of the box stores have a plastic specific epoxy that woks pretty good.
