Here is the one I use

https://haconten.appieshost2.com/app...IE:prodSW7500+

I have tried most of the buttons out there and this one fits your thumb great even with gloves on. It seems to be brutally consistent...

The only thing is did was take the ring off and put a c clip on it so it catches the aluminum...

IMO this is the best one going...

That switch looks just like the REACTOR SWITCH that I use.

I am not familiar with reactor. Is that a brand or model? I just got the switch from Contender and wanted to limit it more so I put the clip on it. It works great. When I runner upped a couple weeks ago I was 500 - 514 all weekend (14 passes)....

Any electrical on/off button works fine. But always use a relay. Other wise there is to much current going through the switch and the last thing you want is the transbrake switch sticking.
