Need switch suggestions for my saber
Hi,
I was wondering if people can help me with N.O. momentary switch ideas for my hilt. First pictures of what I have so far...
I have MHS ribbed section with a sink tube shroud. I cut out two(2) tabs in the shroud

Here is what the sink tube looks like temporarily installed

When I am holding the hilt my index finger lays over the longer tab and my middle finger is over the shorter tab. I want to install a switch under the tabs. Longer one will be blade on/off and shorter tab is aux.

So what kind of switch should I use under the tabs?
I have considered micromini tactile switch, reed switch, normal push button, or just a small circuit board and copper contacts. My ideal solution would keep the inside of my hilt clean - no switch body sticking through a hole... I need all the room for sound board, driver for LED, battery, feedback motor, speaker and other decor. i also want to reduce the size and number of holes I drill through my MHS parts.
cheers,
V.
