Hi, everyone!
I have a switch for a Toshiba 3100 that I’ve been troubleshooting - works when there’s no stress on the keycap but fails when it’s mounted. We’ve tried cleaning it to no avail, so I think I just need a replacement, but these things seem super hard to find.
Anyone aware of one that has a compatible with the switch plate pattern of the below switch? It’s about 9mm without contacts with the body and 13mm with the stem. I’m not a keyboard aficionado, so I have no idea what to even look for other than Alps, and none of the ones I’ve found have this plate pattern.
Thank you!

I found a nice user on Reddit who’s sending me a handful of these so I can perform my repair.
Do we have a wiki that has the switch plate contact patterns for all the different key switches and what they look like? Might be a good cross reference tool for those looking for compatibility.
