Review on Partstock Momentary Self Locking Button Switch: Ultimate Convenience and Control by Wayne Drakh

I do quite a bit of basic electronics assembly and my projects, mostly decorative and functional 3D printed lights. I was dabbling with SMD LEDs and that's how I came across them. I'm going to quickly address a fact that has been discussed in many other reviews: these switches are not instantaneous. you snap. So let's say the switch is off, you press it until it clicks and release to turn the switch on and press until it clicks and then release to turn the switch back off. Moving on to the switches themselves, I've only used a few and while they work well, one of them shows a bit of instability. I used this switch on a crude LED setup to test the lighting behind lithophane, so this switch is often used by sporadic flashes when I turn the LEDs on and off. From time to time the button wobbles a bit, causing the contact to move under the button. This causes continuity issues where the LEDs flicker and dim as the key is moved. I was able to stop this behavior by toggling the switch a few times, but it's still amazing. I want to use these switches in a small LED backlit lamp I'm planning to make soon and I'm wondering how stable they will be. I will update this review when I use the switches but for now I will say that this is good quality hardware but may not be the best choice for a device that uses the switch a lot or is subject to physical abuse. A hit. If you were using switches in a scenario where they are only occasionally activated and not hit, I think they would work well.
