Bishu,
I am sorry but I do not agree with you. A switch should not break merely by pressing hard on it, I strongly suspect you did nothing wrong.
Anyway, have you contacted Steyr yet?
Try this person if you have no other contacts:

Here is what their warranty states:
If within two years from the day of purchase any cracks or breaks
should occur on this weapon that are due to material failure we under-
take the repair of the defective parts free of charge (except breakage
or cracking of the stock/pistol or O-rings).
Guarantee will be given by either replacing or repairing the weapon
or parts of it at our sole discretion. The guarantee is only valid if
the fully completed guarantee card is returned immediately after
purchasing the weapon.
Best of luck! Let us know how it works out and if you are stuck with a broken switch maybe the collective here can figure something out, but hopefully this can be repaired properly.
