WD40 should never be used on electrical contacts; it is, among other
things, rather flammable(well, the carrier is; it's propane,
basically.)

Caig DeOxit is most appropriate for the switches.  Caig ProGold is
for plated connectors.  I would suggest the 5% spray or the 50% pump.
The 100% stuff is only for surfaces where you can wipe off all the
excess.

MCM Electronics carries most of the Caig line at reasonable prices.
I also recommend getting a package of lint-free swabs; MCM sells them
for something like $10 for 3000 :-)  They're quite tough, chemically
pure/clean, and have a nice long wood handle.
