That's a good tip to keep in mind since my earliest hp48 repair attempt damaged some heat stakes, and that affected key play. I have a recent 48GX with a damaged keyboard contact sheet like yours, and I may try your smt switch approach if other alternatives don't work out.

I wonder if making a specialized pcb to replace the whole stack, including metal plate, would work?
