* The keyswitch housings were produced in several "bank" configurations. The minimum housing configuration, 1, was used for space bars and singleton keys. The maximum, 6, was used for central rows.
* The upper housing contains slider guides, but is otherwise a simple rectangular enclosure.
* The lower housing contains conical plastic projections that stand upright, holding the reed valves and covering them completely.
* The slider is a one piece mechanism containing a circular magnet and spring. The spring compresses the magnet against the top of the slider and provides resistance to counteract fingers and gravity.
* The housing is held together by a screw and nut; a third nut holds the assembled switch to the PCB.
* The reed is soldered directly to the PCB.
