Hello,

I am trying to find a replacement microswitch for my A-5. I want a really high gram one, possibly 75 grams, but I do not know where to find them, anyone know where to get them? Thanks.

I scavenged mine out of an old mouse. That's the way a MAN gets his microswitches. Not Automaggot's way.

I have a micro switch sitting in front of me that i scavenged out of some kids table saw-thing that I can send you if you'd like. :)

Not exactly sure what the pressure is on it but I know it is comparable to a mouse click.

Edit: I know it looks similar to a bushmaster switch if that means anything (has lever to activate the switch, like a roller switch without the roller part).

That would be really great, the problem is is that I need a microswitch with a metal actuator type thing that is angled on the switch. That is why I was asking here, as I was not sure if these type of switches were paintball-specific.

Edit:

Needs to look a little like this:

yeah, the omron D2F-L's (pictured in link) are what your going to want to pick up, the other one the guy is offering, is larger, by.....quite a bit, but, ive made them work before. But, dont buy the D2F-L's for $7.50 like its asking, just use that part # to find it somewhere else, may run you ~$2 per switch.

That is true that it is a substantial bit smaller, but where do you think could supply them to me? Radio Shack?

I'll likely be placing an order on digikey or mouser (both have them). Let me know and I'll pick one up and ship it off to you. At least you won't be playing $5-6 for a $1 switch.

I got my D2F-L's from mouser (think i got 10 of em) would send ya one, but, amazingly used em all up (and, managed to figure out how to do some crazy things by modding the insides of switches, was able to succesfully have a marker simulate ramping modes just by modding the switch and still using semi mode) Anyway, id get a few extra to play with, thats always fun.
