Ryan - that's not an option. Jeff has re-designed the switch from the ground up.

a small batch of these were shipped to Shine today, to test fit in various versions of the liteflux. Here's hoping they work as expected! I sharpened the cut off tool this time, so the flat bottom is much cleaner now.

Definitely interested in this mod. I always thought the lack of feedback from the switch was the weak link of the LF2XT.

Well, once these come in we'll get some testers out to a few people. If everything goes well I hope to be able to offer this mod in a couple of months.

Been a while since I've posted. I've been working with the inserts and modding a few of my own various LF2XTs. The switch has been awesome and feels really great.
Here is a pic of the insert in a switch and the modded tactile e-switch. No spring is necessary for this setup.

When I was working with that first prototype you sent over, I didn't know you had already replaced the switch assembly. I remember thinking that had a really nice action. This will turn out to be a great upgrade

Just checking in, is this project still moving along?

I actually haven't been too active on CPF the past few months. Life sometimes intervenes with other priorities.
I have LF2FTs that I did the switch mod to that have been working perfectly. I also did the mod for a couple of other people to test things out and the satisfaction level has been high. That being said, I will re-visit this if/when I have the time but for now it's on hold.

Cool, I'm a patient guy.

I'm amazed at the enduring popularity of the LF2XT. The electronics are, what, 10 years old now? It was discontinued around the time I got into this hobby in the first place.
