Thanks for the arduinoboy xiwi!  Haven't had the chance to use it yet though.

For further information on switches and how to make sense of all those S's, D's, P's, and T's here are two phenomenal guides that really helped me out.

they worked fine.

its the TYPE of switch you need to worry about.

All wires in electronics generate at least a very small amount of resistance when they are used.

Basically, it's saying that using one of these switches will add 0.08 ohms of resistance to your circuit, which is almost nothing at all.

I wasn't sure if there is specific specs that switches need to meet before installing in DMGs.
