Do you think MCclicky is the best ? Does MCclicky make a 'Click' noise? How many Nm is needed to turn it on? How much is its operating life ? Thank you so much !
I think clicky switches are too loud, they can be heard all over the room you are in.
operating life… guessing many thousand? maybe 50K?
They are ok switches up to 3amps constant on 5amps momentary/pulse they will not work with higher amps, not very long…… I have melted a few of them……my Surefire triple/quads 50.2 and 70.2 mods pull crazy amps… I build my own switches for High amps…
. the McClicky I used and I think most of them are FW Tactical type switch’s, momentary activation. They also or used to come with a Hard Press Medium Press and Soft Press boots, you could change the activation pressure and feel to your tastes…here is what I found from Oveready on McClicky’s
. Z41 McClicky Kit Torchlab/Oveready
Surefire P, C, Z, and G series lights come standard with Z41 tailcaps: momentary silent-on button with a twist-the-tail-cap for full on. This includes the G2X Tactical, 6PX Tactical, Z2X, G2ZX, and P2X Fury (A versions). X series lights that already have clicky caps (B version) cannot be upgraded without changing the tailcap.
Our self-installation kit* replaces all this with easy to use one button functionality. Lightly press the button momentary silent-on function and firmly press the button for an audible click that indicates it is fully on (aka, forward clicky).
Each kit* includes one McClicky switch (by McGizmo), one OVEREADY brass switch adapter ring by Moddoo, and one boot in a choice of colors: black, hunter orange, or toxic green.
Choose hardpress for maximum security or softpress for the ultimate ease of use. Or try out new medium boot (MEDpress) for that just right feeling. Up to one extra boot can be added here. See our Parts page for even more options.
Please review our Installation Instructions before purchase.
And again before starting the installation process. Tailcaps are not included but the OVEREADY McClicky Kit* is available pre-installed in a variety of tailcap hosts (see our tailcaps part section).
We guarantee our kit up to 5 amps, more than double the factory Z59 rating. Note: amps over 3 will heat the spring!
Not compatible with Z58 or Z59 tailcaps (nor vintage twisty caps where the mechanism falls out on its own).
Back in the day I thought they were an improved version of the old Kroll forward clickie design that was popular with modders around 2005 but that was a long time ago so perhaps I’m thinking of a different switch?
