    Where to get microswitches?

    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, I sent you a PM. It looks a little big, but I could prolly make it work.

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?
