Changing light switch...wiring guidance needed

[slicendice]

The light switch in my bedroom recently died so I bought a new one from Screwfix but I think the new one I've bought is different to the old one. The switch just controls one light and is the only switch that does so.

Old switch:

New switch:

Am I right in thinking that the original switch is a one-way and the new switch is a two-way?

And if so, I believe that it's possible to wire a two-way switch as a one-way switch...is that correct?

What would be the correct way to wire it? The old switch has brown going into common, which I'm assuming is COM on the new switch? And blue then goes into L1...is this the top left terminal on the new switch (labelled 1-WAY)?

Thanks!

Correct!

All correct

Turn the power off before replacing it obviously

Great, thank you for the super speedy responses!

Both new and old are 2 way switches.
On the new switch, one wire into COM, common, and the other wire into 1 (1 Way), either way round as it does not matter on a 1 way switch.
('2' would be used on a 2 way circuit)
All the best

All done and working!
