I have been using a company in Asia for switches on one of my products and they stopped making them. Hard part is they cant even really communicate with me (little bit different from being in person) and im not flying back over there to figure this out.

My question is, has anyone seen switches like this anywhere? I wouldnt even know what to call them and all of my search inquiries have come back negative. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you checked DigiCOMM? my understanding is they do a lot of small stuff like this.

PM Pat Fruth, I bet he could get his hands on something like this. I'll find his email too, he doesn't get on here much.

Is it an on/off switch or variable based on pressure?

Quick search, thats the closest I found. Gonna be a bitch trying to find that EXACT one.

maybe better luck searching for a button since it is a momentary switch? Just throwing out ideas.

Thanks for poking around a little for me guys...

Dean I know those are the buttons/switches but where do you get the housing and casing etc...? Do you think I can just pick them up assembled or do you think I would have to work with a company to make them?

In a perfect world I would be able to just find the whole thing already made.
