The sheet is placed on a printed circuit board with a pair of contact elements located in each of the holes. Clicking plates with extensions projecting from them are placed in the holes in contact with one contact element and spaced from the other. A press plate with a spherical upper surface and holes in the lower surface is placed in each of the sheet holes with the clicking plate extensions projecting into the press plate's lower surface holes. An insulating layer is coupled to the to cover the sheet holes and components therein.
