I cracked one of the microswitches on my magstick plus   :cry:  The microswitches on it are different than happs. Can I use a cherry switch from  happ as a replacement ?

Thanks  :)

This is a quote from there site

"There are three different types of switches used on the Mag-Stick. They all have differing connections. To ensure you use the correct wiring, remove one switch by unscrewing the single fixing screw. On the other side of the switch the connections are marked in the form of a diagram as below:




I'm guessing the cherry snap swithches would do it but I'm not sure, Thanks

those switches look exactly the same, except the nc (normally closed) and the no(Normally open) contacts are switched as long as you connect the wire to the no connector you are fine.
