The brass buttons were delivered to me this week, they look AWESOME! They feel very high quality and have a different click sound from the stainless steel ones.
It has the same thread size as the other Convoy buttons, so it should fit any flashlights that have a swappable button, in this case I used the lighted plastic base of the metal button that is sold for the S2+
It looks like the brass circle where you click is a bit smaller than on the SS one, letting more light pass through the silicone around it and creating a bigger inner circle of light.
My brass S2+ looks perfect with this new brass button.
I LOVE Convoyβs non-lit metal buttons. They have the most satisfying action of any switch Iβve used.
The click sound is fantastic! Have you tried the titanium one?
Rub some brass black on it...

(not my light)
Wow that's so cool! Now I want to make a patina version too π lol
That looks π₯ Unpopular opinion here though... I much prefer the rubber boot for the convoy tail switch π«£ The feel and click are just so much more satisfying... And the light tail stands without modification π€·π»ββοΈ Just sayin' π
you're right. but you also wrong, because........ brass button!
π€£ Good point.
I find the rubber boot to be a mixed bag, really depends on the switch underneath. I have some lights that have a nice short click, and others I feel like I'm shoving my thumb INSIDE the light before it turns on.
I prefer metal buttons so long as I can tweak them to allow tail standing. Requires a spacer in between the plastic parts. Works on the 20mm switches without much issue, but the 16mm switches is a crapshoot.
Funny you say that, as I honestly find it with the metal switches, that I have to drive them in, whereas all the rubber boot switches I have are a pleasure to press... I've possibly just hit it lucky in the rubber boot switch lottery π€£
I'll try the tweak on the metal buttons for tail standing... As that is one of the main reasons I eventually swap the metal buttons back to rubber boots ππ» Thanks ππ»
Some Convoy flashlights can tail stand with metal buttons, the S21G is an example. I will check this mod on the switch to tail stand, seems like a good mod to do
The SP31V3 has this loooooooong press button, the rubber deforms a lot to reach the switch lol. Usually my Convoys have short clicks, I like them more than long clicks
The rubber button is also very good, but in this light the brass one matches the body perfectly IMO haha
What a beauty.
I got the exact same one with the brass button arriving for Christmas. So excited!
This light is amazing! I know you will love it
Can you share the link for the switch? Would look to recreate!
Of course, here is the link to the brass button. I already had the light switch, it is needed to assemble it
Ahh, yes, I forgot they have a regular website now. I was looking on AliExpress! Thanks so much!
