I chose this switch because of the 'rounded off' look and the small size of the rockers themselves. That's down to personal preference of course, but I like how it looks on the wall now it's fitted.
It was a simple replacement job so I didn't need the instructions, just copied the wiring from the old switch. Useful tip if you're replacing an existing switch: take a photo on your phone of the wiring on the old switch, makes life much easier when wiring up the new one.
The fittings inside the switch are metal where it's needed and decent quality plastic where it's not. The screws that hold the wires are easy to access and feel secure once tightened. It came with four mounting screws, long and short, one pair of which should suit pretty much any wall box. The switch action feels clean and positive.
It came with tiny covers to hide the screw heads when fitted, a nice touch which makes a big improvement to the aesthetics when compared with other switches in the house.
