Notes
This is a bridge contact switch, using a very light, gold-plated spring as the bridge. The spring fits into a lateral recess in the slider, and will fall out if the switch is opened.
The bridge spring readily becomes distorted if you attempt to reassemble the switch with the keycap fitted. To reassemble the switch, first remove the keycap and external return spring (this takes a lot of force), and then remove the slider. Place the spring into the slider, and then insert the slider into the base. At this point, the lid can be replaced. Attempting to insert the spring and hold it in place while the slider is still in the base is effectively impossible: the slider must be removed first.
