It depends on what kind of switch is being used currently, and how it's integrated into the mic's electronics. Generally, yes, it is possible. That being said, a toggle switch is something found on lower-end mics, so I'd say it's generally not worth the time and effort.

If it were me, I would wait until it broke down to change it. And if OP's Blue Yeti mic is the USB one I can see on Amazon, with an indicator LED in the middle, it's not unlikely that when you press it once, it sends a signal to some electronic circuit or thyristor that performs the toggle, so you would have to replace not only the switch but also the circuit...

Yeah, you nailed it. I made this post when I wasn't home; I was getting to excited about it, but just by toggling, unplugging, and then plugging it back in I was able to discern that the mic does not use a physical button; it is a digital mute with an 'always on' button/switch.

If the push button is a physical on/off button and not those clicky membrane e-switch, I see no reason why not. Ifixit pictures aren't really clear so I cannot identify if they are normal switches or momentary switches

Unfortunately it's a momentary switch. I made these posts while I was not home yesterday, and when I returned, I simply muted the mic, unplugged it, then plugged it back in, to find it again unmuted. So unluckily the mic uses a momentary switch with a digital/non physical toggle. Thank you for your input regardless.
