There's a bunch of these buttons available on Amazon from different sellers. They're all typically made with identical (or very similar) materials, in very standard sizes (16mm, 19mm, 22mm, etc). When you hold them side-by-side, you'd have a hard time telling them apart. They're all compatible as far as pins and connectors. They all use the same outer metal shell that's crimped onto varying modular plastic connectors, usually dictated by their function (backlighting, latching vs momentary, etc). The parts are interchangeable between brands (LED, latching mechanism, etc), but the crimp in the metal casing is meant to be permanent and trying to undo/redo it without proper tools can damage it.
This one is an exception. I have a few different "brands" of these 22mm momentary buttons with LED lighting, and this particular one is the worst of the bunch. They use a slightly different modular connector which doesn't have a clip tab for securing a connector (which isn't even included, it's a separate add-on). This means that if you use one of the modular connectors, it can work itself loose over time from vibrations or impacts. Not very good for a permanent installation. Sure, you could use hot glue to keep it securely attached, but with the other brands, that's not necessary.
Another difference is that the crimp to the metal housing is very light. Technically I guess that means it's somewhat easier to take the switch apart, but it also makes the modular connector very wobbly. It feels cheap and not very secure. I worry that it could work its way out over time.
The only reason I picked this one over the others is it was the only one in 22mm with a power symbol that's backlit AND is momentary. All the other power symbol switches I came across were latching. What I might end up doing is popping the power symbol button out of it and popping it into a better-built switch housing. The beauty of interchangeable pieces...
