It's just a push switch - you can disconnect the wires from the original and hook it up to any other switch you want, be that a similar make to the original, or a huge red button that sits on your desk. Alternatively you could just leave the wires hanging out and short them together to emulate pressing the button - though I wouldn't recommend that in the long term. Nothing wrong with it though apart from being a bit primitive and risking the wires shorting when you don't want them to!
