Sturdy and well constructed switch. Would recommend.
I've used these for footswitching in guitar effects for years and they are overall great, compact and strong, with a positive feel, you can tell if you've switched them or not by feel. The only quibble is that they make quite a noticeable click acoustically when you switch them, in a loud band that wouldn't matter, but if you play in quieter environments it can be really annoying.
A reasonably priced switch, robust and will probably last well.
I used this to replace a footswitch in a guitar effects pedal (Marshall blues breaker). It is much sturdier than the one that was already installed, was exactly the right dimensions and thus made a great replacement.
