Newbie question for switches

[jackpilot]

I found some aero toggles on EBay parts with a very small footprint.
Handy for backlighting issues.
Here is a pic  (better than words):

Difference is obvious. I will take a look on it!

Forget about those toy toggle switches, I have used them on a panel before that I made, and they really didn't give me that proper switch feel. They panel didn't even make it into the cockpit until I used these and I am much more happier with these.

I would recommend these and they are cheap enough to get you started if you are on a budget, and none have failed me so far.

Panel cutout diameter: 12.2mm

Hope that helps, I use these with caps and they work great.

I completely agree! In addition, aircraft switches have a heavy duty look and feel. If youre used to the real thing then the cheap switches look and feel wrong when flying the sim.
