Hin I recently found this olympia keyboard with these odd switches and somebody had asked me to take pictures for the wiki. I managed to desolder and take some pictures that I hope are satisfactory.

Right, the [wiki]Marquardt Series 6180[/wiki] switches.
If I had any choice or control, I would recommend using plain white paper, and lining up the parts neatly instead of placing them all haphazardly.
I see that internally, it's very similar to the later [wiki]Marquardt Series 6184[/wiki], but the actuator leaf design is different; from the pictures, I can't see how it works, but I guess it's very similar to Series 6184. Also, there's no diode in that version, while 6184 included diodes.
