I'm guessing it was a blob of foam, which has
deteriorated, but maybe it
was a metal spring, or a piece of u-shaped plastic etc.
May depend on the model, but mine has a spring under the plastic reset button in the top
of the case and one of those metal domed tactile switches on the PCB.

This matches my recollection of the system I had. The type of metal domed
switch made famous by the Atari 2600 joysticks.

I quickly read that and my brain said 'metal doomed switch', which I guess
was also correct :)
