Neat! I am curious about durability however:
- What kind of contacts/switches do you use?
- Is the wheel read optically or contact-based?
- Is there a specification on durability (how many switch and wheel operations)?
Thanks!

It's too bad that the series of navigation switches are discontinued.

Yes C&K has retired that product.
But there is another company called Zippy that have the exactly same components, both white and black.
I don't know if there is some relationship between the two company.
Anyway the product is still alive and available!
