small switch

[busterhax]

do any of you know what the small switch is called that you find on most pointers under their button??(to all of you that have pot modded your leadlights you should know what im talking about) and where to find them?

there just little tactile switches. you can get them on line. i like to order from mouser.com jsut type in tactile switches, or or you could probably find them at your local ratshack but i'm not 100% sure about that.\

Thanks,
Mitch

radioshack doesn't have the kind you're thinking about but they are readily available - if you don't want to make a whole order just for one you could get a cheap red laser at the dollar store and take out the button

yeah just about anything small should have those switches, i reckon i could find atleast 50 od them in my room somewhere! LOL well a shop here sells em for about $12AU, but thay are nice and sturdy, just not powerful. The ones i can get for $1 almost bend in your have, almost like they are made of cardboard! ;D
