## Customer Reviews

    Work just fine, but product description needs clarification
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2012*

These switches work great, but be advised, they are MOMENTARY, normally open switches, so they are not the "click once for on, click again for off" kind of switch.  This product should be described accordingly on the product page. If you need momentary switches, these are for you.  If you need the other kind, look elsewhere.-----UPDATE, 2/17/2012-----I thought I ought to clarify my review, to help people better understand my comments.There are two types of "tact" (momentary push-button) switches: locking and non-locking.The locking kind of switch gives a user the distinctive "double click" when pressed, like the push-button switch on a traditional Maglite flashlight.  The switch is momentary, but locks in the "on" position, giving the user a closed circuit that stays closed until s/he pushes the button again.The NON-locking kind of tact switch, as the name implies, does not lock in the "on" or "closed" position, so power will only flow as long as the user presses and holds the button down.These Microtivity switches are NON-locking tact switches, but nowhere in the description does it say that.  Further, other reviewer comments may lead folks to believe these are the locking kind, when they are not.  Thus, you have my review.On another note, I find these switches do not stay well-seated in the microtivity breadboards I ordered, especially after having moved the switches around a few times.  I recommend you double check your layout prior to seating your switches to avoid this problem.Good luck on your projects, and happy prototyping!

    Good product, good company
  

*by O***O on Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2012*

This is a very good product, but the reason why I am writing this review is to support the company behind the product, for all the assistance they have provided over the past few months.Thus far, I have purchased these products (among others), and they are all of excellent quality. I would give 5 stars to each of them.

    But, most important, I would also give 5 stars to Microtivity's customer service. Each time I needed additional information on a product, Microtivity would quickly reply providing the info I needed, be it by sending me a link to their own website (if available) or by writing an answer to my specific question. This is the kind of customer support that you don't see often, and it is most impressive when it comes from a relatively small company.Because of the quality of both their products and customer assistance, I 100% recommend Microtivity as your seller.

    Not great for use on breadboard.
  

*by B***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2014*

Thought that they would be great for breadboard projects, and for the price I was excited to try them out. I quickly found out, however, that they do not seat well at all on the breadboard. I went through the entire bag trying to get just one to stay on the board, but they all kept popping off no matter what I did. Frustration not worth the price.UPDATE:  I stumbled upon this while trying to figure out how to make this at least useful:  (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/97)Member #183815 / about 4 years ago / 22"GUYS! I've discovered an excellent technique for making these types od buttons breadboard friendly. First, using pliers, remove the kinks from the legs, making them straight pieces of metal flush with the sides of the button. Next, grab the middle of each leg with the pliers and twist 90 degrees."I tried the 90 degree thing and it works. They aren't perfectly secure, but they aren't popping off the board now either.
