I haven't decided on the switches yet. I am pretty sure that I am not going to use the ones TCSS sells, simply because I don't like the colour glowing switches and the choice of non glowing switches is rather small.
I found a German shop who sells hundreds of different quality momentary and latching switches. See links below for some favourites:

They also sell the ones TCSS is selling, the shop is known for high quality electronic accessories.

The way I use this saber will be mostly one handed, the space between pommel and activation box gives enough space for a second hand the way I would use it.

Thanks to Ty_Bomber again for the link, this has shed some light.

And thanks also to Forgetful Jedi Knight for the battery runtime estimate and your contribution to my knowledge
The saber will be Green or a Green/Blue mix, depending on what is practical to do.
