Relays, contactors - most of them has parallel contacts, not round ones. I've fixed quite a few with the eraser on the top of the BIC disposable mechanical pencil.

"Most of them" is not these micro-switches. All you have to do is look at the pics to see that's not the case here. What you're going on about simply is not applicable in this case, I'm sorry. And in hundreds of mice I've fixed this way, I've never seen switches that weren't identical construction inside.

Think of it like a cheap rocker switch (the kind where one contact is just a rolled edge of brass) that has a pit burned in the silver on the contact arm. An eraser is not going to fix that. Just like with a burned contactor.

IIRC, we're talkin'bout tarnishing, not burn; beside, I've meant general cleaning, not only µswitches. Glad to talk out misunderstandings.
Cheers,

I see:
* 200 Kmhz  in the listing title
* 200-kMHz  in a description heading
* 200 kHz  in the desciption text

The first, I'm not sure how to interpret.  The second would be 2GHz (impressive!) and the third is, at least, credible.

However, I already have a DSO138 and one of those $20 component testers ... but the case doesn't look half bad.

I say that as well.

I only wish they would pan out a bit more often than they do.
