I killed a switch.

Last night I was working on a ZX spectrum keyboard replacement when a solder pad broke lose from the switch.
The switches are very tiny, the solder pad are even smaller, so the traces are to small to solder a wire to it.

Now I ordered a new batch of switches as I had just enough of them.
I hope that they will arrive soon.
sometimes it looks like an Asian is cycling to the Netherlands to deliver the package from China (it can take up to 6 or 7 weeks).
