I got mine from Maplins in the UK but most electronics shops will have them. Thinking of replacing a couple of unused ones with push/lock switches in different colours.

Should I be looking for a specific type, or voltage or amperage or other rating?

Futaba replacement switches work and are sold in many retail hobby shops and tower hobbies. Long handle types.

It also helps if your profile lists country, state, or city. This everyone asking for help should update please.

Thanks for updating your location. Futaba switches may be the easiest to order on line.
Old tx's are another source I use. I had several 9x switches fail or fall apart on me. All Turnigy, FlySky so far so good.

I am pretty sure (going back 10 or so years) that Maplin had a branch in Durban.

I have lived in the uk too long now to be certain :)
Slope Soaring, FPV, and pretty much anything 'high tech'
...........if you think it should be in the wiki.. ask me for wiki access, then go add it!
