It’s the trace going towards the mode button, so I’m pretty sure resistance won’t exactly be critical over a ~3mm gap, as long as it recognizes when the plunger button is pressed down.

I know at least one kind that had a high degree of aluminium in it. But you also have cheaper kinds that dont have that.
You do make a good point, which I was already aware of though.
But you also just reminded me that I bought some new heatsink compound about 5 years ago and put it up somewhere in one of my parts bins.
I actually haven’t tested the conductivity/resistance of the new compound yet, but whenever I find it, that’s probably going to be the first thing I check.
