Black metal button!
Who’s with me?! 
I think it should be an option along with the tint and 7135 chips.
Would the black be painted? Can you anodize SS?
I voted for the rubber button by the way. I’ve never had anything against them, and for my tailcaps they work much better.
I like the sample just the way it is (with the normal rubber boot)! I think it would look great with a lighted tailcap.
Stainless can’t be anodized as far as I know. We could make the switch in aluminum and anodize it. As far as options for stainless a painted switch was shot down immediately. The only acceptable options IMO are either a black oxide coating or PVD and it looks like it will probably be PVD. I understand about your tail caps, but keep in mind Simon plans to make the rubber seal clear from here on out to accommodate your lighted tailcap and that thin glowing ring in the s2+ stainless switch looks awesome IMO. Of course I also love pretty much all of the lighted tail switch setups you’ve done as does Simon.
I like the standard boot, the SS switch looks nice for the rubber boot is nicer to use. The white boot looks really good on this light.
Yea clear is good so youbcan add a light…
It would be nice to see pictures of the silver and the black switch side-by-side.
Wow, that looks great! Someone mod these, a triple, and a lighted tailcap. They would sell.
more pictures please -

edit: any red, switch caps?
If we forget all about the illuminated tailcap (because Simon has no plan to produce them and I think that’s a good decision) then it’s all down to preference of feel under your finger/thumb. I think the metal switch has a more “premium” feel to it, but I still like the normal silicone better personally.
If you have the ability to add your own illuminated tailcap, now that Simon has made the clear seals you can do it with either switch. It probably looks fancier with the metal switch, but is absolutely more functional for locating with the silicone button.
I wonder if it’s possible to have the screw-out part of the metal switch enlarged so that you could swap out the whole metal switch with silicone if you wanted to? That’d require a major re-working though.
I like plain stainless. I will also buy 1-2 hosts. Black button is likely to wear and look terrible.
doesn’t the rubber tail-cap offer more waterproofing?
I would never get behind a button that would wear and look terrible. Give me a little more credit than that Gunga. Sheesh!
Yes, that the main reason I haven’t bought one red, blue, or green S2+ lights.
I voted black metal button. It rules. Good design choice.
Normal so I can use a white one
And if I install a clip (why not metal colored instead of black???) I can always use a black rubber booth if there are not metal colored clips, I mean clear metal color body screams metal colored clip! Right?
Also I am fine with a metal switch like the red s2+
Standard stainless switch for me.
The convoy clip is already going to be black. Each variation you create adds costs. So if I was Simon3, I wouldn’t make a 2nd clip color. Just doesn’t seem worth it.
IMO unless the clear anodizing and standard stainless switch are the exact same colour it’s going to look out of place.
If the light has the clip fitted I think black stainless switch. Without the clip fitted, the rubber boot pictured looks good.
That was my thinking too. Brushed stainless and bare aluminum do not look the same.
To answer The Miller, the deep carry clip we have now cannot be made in a polished version. It was tried and did not work. That’s why the clips are black. To make the clips in a polished version we would have to redesign the S2+ body with a wider groove. Even if we did that, it’s a stainless clip on an aluminum body so a perfect match is not possible.
