High quality switches?

[kardus]

Working on a new mod again. I'm looking for a source for high quality switches (preferably springless), something similar to what's on the GG or bottom push like zenesis.

Those that you mention are mechanical switches that are custom built and not something you buy off the shelf. They are rather simple in design and lack electrical features found in 'high quality switches' to prevent arcing, for example. Given that, if they are easy to take apart and clean, they can still work great.

I recall seeing somewhere a tutorial on how to build something similar using a magnet and some standard fittings. Know anything about this?

Me? Heh, no, not so much.... I did find these though:

Is this what you had in mind?

Something like the first one is more what I am looking for. Where can I get the appropriate magnets for something like this?

The second one is just for fun, it is a little bit big to use as universally. The small magnets are these 10 pieces 8mm X 1.2mm rings Neodymium rare earth magnet n35 items in Almost Free Magnets store on eBay! and the bigger ones are also from ebay but currently OOS, size 1/2" x 1/4" x 1/16".

Two small magnets work fine as well.
