This is a replacement switch for the Game Boy Light. The original MGL switch is an unusual 3PDT for which a suitable replacement isn't currently known. This design uses a standard SP3T switch and mosfets to replicate the ability to turn on the system and back light with a single switch.

Manufacturing information
To make it easy to assemble this project, the gerbers for the current version can be found in artifacts and uploaded at your PCB fabricator of choice, e.g. JLCPCB. For best results, follow these paramters:
- PCB type: Flex
- PCB thickness: 0.11mm
- Layers: 2
- Stiffener: 0.2mm PI(see user comments layer)
- 3M tape: 3M9077(see user comments layer)

Questions
How big is the Mgl switch PCB?
It measures 34 × 19 mm and has 2 copper layers, 0.19 mm thick.
What parts does the Mgl switch use?
20 parts, built around the SI2312BDS-T1-BE3-HXY and DMP6350SQ-7. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Mgl switch KiCad files?
From the leggomyfroggo/mgl_switch repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is mglSwitch.kicad_pcb and its schematic mglSwitch.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Mgl switch design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask leggomyfroggo before reusing the design.
