I purchased a box of new Mk 20amp switches from eBay , and installed 2 of them today.
One of the switches feels quite ‘slack’ for want of a better word when you switch the switch on/off. Not the normal clunk click I would expect.
It does fully switch on/off.
Possible reasons ? Cheap construction ?

What make and were from? sorry missed the MK Mention
 
jimmy saville .....clunk click every trip.
 
Maybe it’s just an iffy switch, you had chance to check the rest?

A couple feel a bit slack , not the usual hard positive click I usually expect with Mk gear

Only 8 more to use up

Throw them in the bin if you have any doubts about there quality, cost of a call back compared to a £3 dodgy switch. Not worth the saving against the cost and damage to your reputation
