Interesting, I didn't know Brno Arms made Hall effect switches that resemble the Honeywell ones too =o . The Testla MS1SS1 ones are known and obviously inspired by the Micro Switch version, but I didn't know the copied the Honeywell design too. Nice find!

Are these confirmed hall effect?  I roughly know the shape of the switch tops and how they work, but don't know much about the boards they're put into. Been thinking of adding one to my collection for a while.

Yup, I've got one. Although it's a slightly different model. I did a video about it a while ago.

I have one of these if anyone is interested.  Haven't looked into converting, but I've got to make some space around here.  Basically have only cleaned the caps.  Nice shape internally.  $80 shipped to the USA and it's yours and can of course send pics if wanted.
