Introdução
The iPhone 7 home “button” is actually a solid-state sensor, which also includes Touch ID (fingerprint recognition) capability.
Most replacement home buttons won’t work, so check carefully before starting your repair. Your iPhone’s original home button is uniquely paired to the logic board at the factory—and without Apple’s proprietary calibration process, even a genuine replacement home button from another iPhone won’t work. To fix a broken home button, you should install a specially-made, universal-style home button. Note that these replacements only work as a button; Touch ID will not function.
If you are only replacing a broken screen, you can use this guide to carefully remove and transfer your working original home button to a new screen, preserving all functions, including Touch ID.
During this procedure, to avoid accidentally straining or tearing the display cables, it's best to completely detach the display assembly before beginning repairs on the home/Touch ID sensor. But if you are comfortable doing so, you may skip the display assembly section of this guide and go straight to the home/Touch ID sensor section.

I read through this guide for fun and I must say it's %#*@ good,It's by far the most informative and it's full of great never mentioned tips too ensure you don't cause damage,I rarely see any precautions outside of the basics,like remove the battery connection first and we all know what can happen when you don't so GREAT WRITE UP
Just to be clear. I understand that the Touch ID won’t work if the logic board is not paired (the same as before). But are you also saying that an original home button won’t even click on another logic board? As in, if I take my whole screen and put into another phone, the click won’t work either?
Yes. On the iPhone 5s - 6s you lost touch ID functionality but on The 7 and 8 series, you lose all home button functionality as well.
I found another article on the ifixit website saying it’s absolutely NOT possible to replace the iPhone 7 home button:
