Big Ol Dr Frankenstein Switch

Post by jonny5ive »

You know what I'm talkin about:

They're called "knife switches", and I NEED one for an Arduino project in my garage. Some of them out there seem pretty cool, like maybe this one from Amazon but I feel like Adafruit can do better than that. I KNOW I'm not the only steampunk-influenced monster maker around these parts. I hereby put in a formal request to Adafruit to find/make/offer a knife switch if anyone can find the time.

Here are some reasons why you need a big damn switch:
1) Bolt it to your wall
2) Throw it when you're mad (as in "angry" or "mad scientist", or first one then the other -- makes no difference)
3) Easy to see if it's on or off at a glance
4) Voltage rating? Please. How about ALL OF THE VOLTAGES.
5) Super cool

Anybody know of some good ones?

close, but that's a cover plate for a light switch, not the real thing. Call me an essentialist but that's a switch-shaped object -- not a switch.
