Switch Resource Center
Because I am aware of the difficulty of locating switches for a flight simulator, I have created this page to list online companies who sale switches which are suitable for flight-sim construction. I will be steadily adding companies and photographs as I find them. This is meant to be an extended switch resource so it doesn't just include switches that I used. If you know of a company that has a nice switch or series of switches (including membranes), please notify me here and I'll post it here right away.
Sorry everyone, but unfortunately, many of the switch providers have web sites that load in frames, so I couldn't grab the exact address for each switch.
