⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alex Turner - Industrial Automation Engineer
"We integrated the Pro Model 12x12mm Tactile Switch into our control panels for CNC machinery, and it’s been flawless over the past 7 months. The 500V rating and IP40 protection are essential in our high-dust factory environment. The brass contacts have shown zero degradation, even under continuous operation. Custom red caps also make for intuitive operator feedback."Purchase Date: April 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jessica Lin - DIY Smart Device Builder
"I used the Base Model with white caps and green LED illumination in my custom coffee machine panel. Installation was a breeze thanks to the PCB terminals and 12mm mounting holes. The tactile feedback is crisp—perfect for precise input without being too stiff. After 5 months of daily use, not a single missed actuation."Purchase Date: September 2024 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ David Park - Product Design Lead, HomeTech Solutions
"We’ve deployed the Advanced Model across our new line of induction cooktops. The reduced actuation force (-15%) improves user experience, especially for older customers. LED integration (red/white) works seamlessly with our UI. Only minor note: packaging could be more robust for bulk shipments. Otherwise, excellent performance and consistent quality."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 3 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Maria Gonzalez - Medical Device Technician
"We needed reliable switches for portable diagnostic equipment. The Advanced Model’s 15% higher insulation resistance and smooth tactile response met our safety and usability standards. After 4 months in field testing, all units remain fully functional. CQC + UL compliance was a major plus for regulatory approval."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Tom Reynolds - Maker & DIY Electronics Enthusiast
"Bought the black-cap version for a custom keyboard project. Love the square cap design—feels more stable than round ones. Soldering onto the PCB was straightforward, and the tactile bump gives satisfying feedback. Only wish the product page clarified that LED variants require external current limiting. Minor learning curve, but overall great value."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 7 months
