• a keyboard switch adapted for being seated into said aperture, said switch having a housing assembly having four walls, two of said opposite walls being substantially flat and the other two walls having relieved openings therein;
• said tabs being deformed to a first position by the edges of said walls having relieved openings therein during seating of said keyboard switch thereby permitting said keyboard switch to be seated into said aperture;
• said tabs being received by said relieved openings and assuming a second position once said keyboard switch has been seated thereby retaining said keyboard switch in a seated position;
• said keyboard switch being removable through said aperture by moving said tabs away from said relieved openings thereby freeing said keyboard switch from its seated position;
• said tabs being movable away from said relieved openings by the insertion of a member through said aperture to deform said tabs to said first position.
