@DKOATED That's a good one :D (Maybe there's no other way to make the device stop humming?)

@DKOATED SELF DESTRUCT - Do not press unless you really REALLY mean it

| Mar 13, 2013 at 10:00 | comment | added | André | @Zano ok, that is a fair point. Thanks for the clarification. I think this clarification belongs in the answer. | |
| Mar 13, 2013 at 9:50 | comment | added | Zano | @André, the gravity discussion doesn't refer to gravity force on the switch alone, but aided by a hand or other object. It's easier to push your hand down on the switch than pushing it up on the switch. Likewise, objects falling on the switch are affected by gravity. | |
| Mar 13, 2013 at 9:26 | comment | added | André | Gravity does absolutely nothing for switches like these. Or for most switches, for that matter. The springs in these switches require much more force than gravity exerts on them. | |
| Mar 13, 2013 at 6:28 | comment | added | Lourens | Especially when it reads "DO NOT PRESS!" | |
| Mar 12, 2013 at 17:31 | comment | added | taswyn | Unless for safety's sake it's better to make sure gravity doesn't deactivate the switch, which can be the case with light switches, etc. | |
