Using desoldered switches in hotswap?

I’d better diagnose exactly what the problem with that socket is. In the past, on earlier test boards, failures seemed to derive from using desoldered switches in them.

Spare hot-swap sockets I got are colored ones from Cannon Keys.

Re “fixable”, the reason I recommended getting spare sockets is not to “fix” ripped loose sockets but to replace sockets with loosened or damaged contacts from swapping switches frequently. Quickest remedy is bending switch but I think replacing them is the right solution.
