The switch on my Blue S2+ is wayy nicer than my red one. The switch is taller on the blue one and has a more satisfying click opposed to the mushy feeling of the red one.
Are you sure that your Red S2+ isnt a fake ? As this is pretty much the main difference between the real and fake switch + the obvious material differences (steel vs aluminium).
I didn’t think about that when I first read that post. You may be onto something there sumone. Hey Bugsy, is the switch on your red one stainless or painted silver? Did you by any chance buy it from Gearbust? The switch on the red and blue should be identical. If your red one is a fake you should request they send you a genuine red S2+. If you can post a clear pic of the switch we can tell you in a second if it’s the real or fake. The blue lights haven’t been out long enough to fake yet so I’m sure that one is real.
I actually got it early on in the red release from FastTech, but I’m pretty sure it’s real. The internals look like the “real” pics in the comparisons with the fakes. They look brass opposed to stainless or painted silver.
Regarding the switches, the blue and red look the same except for the switch height.
Yep looks like you’re right on that one. Must have been a different source or Simon tweaked it but those both look legit. Glad the new one is even better. I haven’t got my blue one yet but I’m looking forward to it.
The Blue is actually lighter than I expected, but the shade is still very nice
I can confirm the switches have changed, for the better, much easier to click in on the blue one
Standing comparison
The tailcap fit is improved compared to the past, especially when you look at a late production grey version, although this could be because the blue one is the only I got direct from Simon
Ordered 4x Blue ones direct from Simon 23.August, and the lights is still in China. Simon has always shipped the lights I have got from him fast, but not this time. And I ordered before the % offer and E-pack, so I had to pay full price, and got slow slow shipping.
Done that, but he mixed the orders or something, for he was talking about batteries and their slow shipping, but I did not order any batteries with the lights.
