The item link works now.
Before that the page showed nothing except "access restricted" or whatever...

A couple parts had been clicked off-line. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The original Kroll switch is no longer available. They are discontinued by the manufacturer. The new, replacement does not fit most lights anymore. The threads are incompatible. We did not buy any new switches.

Very disappointing to hear. Was planning to get a few more later this year...

Anyone knows the main reason to discontinue the switch? Is the replacement not compatible with all lights including MagAA?

With this one gone, there will be no more foward clicky options for the MagAA. But the other (reverse clicky) options are not as great as the Kroll, from my experience.

Good news! We found a source and are having a run of Kroll switches run for the Shoppe. These are the original which fit all the m-mag etc mods. They will be available in the summer. 6-12 weeks

490 units in stock? That's a lot...

That said, any chance to stock some standalone rubber boots only?
Without a spare boot option, it means every time a switch boot gets worn out or broken the entire switch mecha has to be replaced also......

They won't sell the rubber boot by itself.

Did not raise the price, same as before!

The Kroll Switch have arrived! First order received. :)

10 pcs. for the first order, that's quick...

Can't order these myself at this moment, but will be closely monitoring the situation. Will be securing at lsast another 5-6 pcs. later this year or before the entire batch is gone forever, whichever comes first.
