Found an optical microswitch
Paladin:
About all I've come up with is the entire assembly:
Door interlock switch $27

Another tech suggested searching the internet for printer/copier parts. Oh, he also told me that it would be 5V, not 24V.
As to why the printers need optical switches, he said that our machines regularly register more than 2 million 'clicks' a month and optical is much more reliable.

I've got some of those- I used to save the stuff our Xerox tech pulled, too. I dunno if they're the opticals or not, though. If you want to order them, have your tech get the Xerox part#, and you can order them direct from Xerox parts.

You say you're not sure if they're the opticals, do they make noise/require power?
Have you tried them out on a joystick/buttons or are you just saving the random stuff the Xerox tech was going to throw away? (admitting you have a problem is the first step :))

Oh, I know I have a problem. You should see the closet in my game room. As for whether they make noise or not, I dunno, as I haven't seen them in a while. They're in that closet...
