Ok so this is kindda a technical question about the micro switch. AS i understand it the micro switch sodered to the board as an independent part to the board. is it connected via two different terminals such as a positive and negative?

next question is about the micro switch its self. Is the micro switch a mechanical device that, simply said, completes an electrical circuit when the switch is depressed and then disconnects the circuit when it is not pressed in?

I am wondering this becuase i am thinking of creating a crazy button trigger design :wow: but if the micro switch is more then just a simple on/off piece of equipment i will not go any ferther with it. thanks.
