Anarchist V2 clone - switch problem

I received my dual parallel 18650 box mod today. While checking out, if it works, I noticed, the switch doesn't work properly. Instead of sending it back, I was thinking of replacing the switch myself. However, I'm not sure what kind of switch I would need. Is a 3A good enough, or does it need a 10A switch? I'm not sure, what MOSFET is in the mod, unless I cut the heat shrink off (which I'm trying to avoid).

Any advice? TIA!

Since the switch is only used to send a "turn on" signal to the MOSFET, the switch you use shouldn't matter. As a side note, those 3 amp switches are rated for 3 amps at 120v ac. They don't usually have a dc rating so there's no real good way of determining how much power they can handle when used for our purposes. Of course it doesn't really matter when a fet is used.
