I spent the afternoon sorting switches. Hundreds had spilled in the boxes and mixed, and the only markings are in Chinese. I did NOT count them carefully yet. Here is what I found so far:
#1 There seem to be zero plate-mount switches. So everyone gets PCB-mount switches, which should be fine, since the PCB has mounting holes. Better, IMHO. However, different may annoy some.
#2 There are no locking switches that I could find. I am not surprised, but whomever ordered them may be.
#3 At some point in the past, the White and Clear switches lost any identification on the bulk bags. I believe I have enough in total to fill the White and Clear orders, but I do not think the mix is correct.
So, if you care greatly about Whites vs. Clears, please let your new stand-in proxy know.
And if any of the above annoys you, that's fair. Please remember that neither I nor any of the stand-in proxies HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE ORDERING PROCESS.
I'm just Joe Friday reporting the facts, ma'am.
