OK, looking for some opinions here on if using the grayhill switches would be a smart move. I'm working on something that I had originally planned to use lorlin switches on as the price and availability make them appealing for DIY.
However, I'm really considering switching over to the grayhill type, but my impression is that it may put alot of people off as they come with a higher price tag and a little harder to source. I'm dealing with an extremely dense front panel board, so switching to the grayhill solves ALOT of engineering issues and gives me roughly 50% more panel space as they're about half the size. If it were just for me what I'd really love to go with the right angle dual gang type as they come in multiple gangs and opens the possibility to all kinds of things that couldn't otherwise be done with the lorlin type. But those come with an extremely high price tag (roughly $25 each), so I think that's probably not a smart move, but at the very least I'd like to switch to the vertical grayhill type which run around $10 or so.
Anyways, opinions would be appreciated. Thx.
