Definitely a vote for Hager Sollysta for me. Use lots of it. Don't rate MK at all.
Are you buying it locally?

This is where it gets strange. For work in the north CEF in Derry stock Click Mode and predominantly that's what I use. But for work in the south CEF in Letterkenny stock Hager Sollysta so I use it there, which would be the predominant part of my work.Are you buying it locally?

Hager Sollysta's really nice to use, but oddly doesn't seem to be popular/stocked in the north.
There is a good reason for that:MK is still a staple in schools and hospitals - so seeing them in a house just makes me think of that
Agreed. I ended up buying quite a few MK Logic Plus - and the same problem occurs to my switches.Recently some of the screws seem overly tight

I'm still waiting for my Click Mode 2 Gang to arrive. Can't wait to see what it's like!The terminal screws in MK Logic Plus have always been hard to turn in my experience.
Scolmore Click accessories hold the wires very well with minimal tightening of the screws.
UPDATED: I've tried, and the screws on MK Logic Plus melt tooooooooo easily because they get stuck (overtighten) halfway and the torque required to move the screws wears them off...Agreed. I ended up buying quite a few MK Logic Plus - and the same problem occurs to my switches.
Not really too much of a problem in practice I'd guess - as long as they hold the wires tight. Better safe than sorry!
Agreed.I'm liking how this comparison is progressing
Oh yes, exactly!!! Totally agree on this, and waaaaayyyyyy cheaper than the MK Grid system.Another major advantage of the Click switches is the fact that they're part of their mini grid system.
So you can swap out individual switch modules for a different type of module. Meaning you can have a 2 way switch and an intermediate switch on the same plate easily. Or a fuse module etc.

If that noise isn't deafening, what's the problem with an incisive 'click' for certainty of operation?Click Mode - Disadvantages
- Sharp noise when operated
- Sharp edges unpleasant to hands
Sorry, I'm just trying to express I'm having difficulty deciding, which I didn't make clear of.Are you doing a report for 'Which?' ?

Wear some oven gloves if you're worried about hand damage.
To clarify, I'm just expressing I'm still having difficulty deciding. If anyone could help me add to the list of merits and disadvantages, please do so and much appreciated.Now I'm ruling MK out for its notoriously flimsy terminal screws, leaving Hager Sollysta and Click Mode to choose from.
Hager Sollysta - Merits
Hager Sollysta - Disdvantages
- Smooth edge on rockers
- Rocker shape fits finger very well
Click Mode - Merits
- Non-modular - no DIY retrofit potential
Brand carved on the faceplate (given my OCD)
Click Mode - Disadvantages
- Modularity - potential for DIY retrofitting
- Requires little force to operate
- Sharp noise when operated
- Sharp edges unpleasant to hands
Five days and 50 posts already, mate.
You seem to have tried a few, so it may be 'make your mind up time'.
Much appreciated, mate!To be fair, the OP sets out what their aims are in their first few posts.
So after a few days' difficult decision I come to totally agree with you. Good quality, pleasing aesthetics, and finger-friendly rockers...My personal choice is Hager, seem to be the most consistent over the range of all they make.
Cheers mate - I'll look into this tooNobody mentioned Lap yet
Aha I do realize this as well! Anyway, not going for this brand at all.To the OP, Lap is very low budget and not worth looking at for a decent accessory.
English sense of humour leaves a lot to be desired in translation.
Please don't.Cheers mate - I'll look into this too
