Default Power switch for 8ight?

WTF. I was assembling my new 8ight-T 1.0 roller and looked all over for the power switch in the parts bags. Then I see "switch not included". ^%$#!!

That makes no sense to me.

Is this the one I need for the 8ight-T:

Thanks.

Yep that one will work. I don't think any pro level kit or roller comes with a switch. Thats part of the electronics.

Thanks for the replies. This is the first kit/roller I've assembled. I opened the box from my M11 and found a power switch in it. I feel kinda silly.

Boy is my face red.

FWIW....Switch's fail....I personally dont run them...i use JST connector's for the fact they actually "bite" on each other and they are nice and small.
