Vindicators trigger switch

those switches were of crappy design from the get go (and look at those prices for NOS ones). i've used a much cheaper solution for mine and still have tons of spares. thanks to etienne for taking on the desoldering task.

what have i used instead? find out here! and here are the results - works like a charm!!!
 
Thanks for the heads up on the computer keyboard switches, I did some searching and found info saying that the alps switches like in your pictures were used on old computer keyboards so I am going to try and track down an old keyboard and see if I can find one there. Like you said the price for an NOS switch is not to appealing so that will be my last resort. I am sure I should be able to find an old keyboard kicking around somewhere, I hope.
 
Asking my friends if they have any old keyboards they want to part with so hopefully I can find an older mechanical keyboard with that button switch, if not I will try the salvation army or value village.

Youre welcome Ully ;)
 
I think I had heard about a keyboard solution, but thanks for the info. I am pretty sure I have a few old keyboards around the house. I will check them out.
