I used two of them. They are the type of conductive polymer switches you find under the key caps of many 'soft touch' kbs. They don't klick but have a slight microswitch effect which centers and detents the lever. The idea behind this (still experimental) sideswiper key is that both sides equally 'beep' while the pause between the dits and dahs is defined by the displacement and the speed you move it back and forth. Electrically it is a two wire single pole (ON)-OFF-(ON) switch.
