Hi Mike,

This is my main concern in the testing phase. So I wouldn't twists the hooks only to test the contact between the flatpack and PCB. I fear that the hooks can break and the copper on the pads can be scrape. Therefore I'm thinking to develop a specific tool to obtain the electrical contact between the A, B, C e D pads and the ground.

The tool I have in mind consist of four pieces of a copper pipe with 5mm internal diameter and 20mm tall. Then I will put the four cylinders over the A, B, C, D pads and I will connect electrically its to the ground.

With this tools I can give the ground to the A,B,C,D pads and can push the PCB against the keyboard to control the contact PCB/flatpack.
What do you think about?
