Crabtree are what folk keep asking me to fit, they look like older classic uk style, have a nice light positive switch action, but fecking pita to wire, terrible terminals imo.
Mk and the higher end mk line (can't remember the name, the more expensive ones) are so much easier to fit, lower profile and modern looking.
In last two years I've had two mk that were doa, both usb double socket, both the switch felt awful in the packet and turned out to have failed /be broken internally. Rare though!Did take out some very nicely made switches a few weeks ago. Devastating ugly, but well made and the switch action was lush. Ugly though, 90s style

Any tips on where to get nice sockets and light switches? Probably just white plastic but without shouting Toolstation or being £40 a piece?
