FAQs
Q. The colored switch cap comes off while using the Big Red. Is there a way to secure it so it doesn’t come off as easily? A. To better secure your switch top to the body of your Big Red, we recommend adding a small amount of semi-permanent adhesive to the threads of the switch top. This will provide additional resistance to help hold the switch top in place. We recommend the following adhesives:
Elmer’s School Glue
Any hot glue from a hot glue crafting gun
Any thread seal tape (otherwise known as plumber’s tape)
Any removable mounting or poster putty
Q. How much pressure is required to activate it?
A. It requires about 5 ounces (approx. 140 grams) of force—very responsive
and suitable for users with mild to moderate strength.
Q. Does it come with a cord?
A. Yes, it includes a 6-foot cord for convenient and flexible placement.
