Does what it should

The switch is a single row version of the dual row 5-way switch typical on Fender Strats.
Pros
It switches smoothly and it doesn't have slack.

Cons
In overdrive, mine sometimes makes small scratch noises when switched, which are audible in overdrive mode, beacuse they are amplified by my amp

Overall, good value for the money.

Cheap and reliable

The basic "import" type 5-way switch found in strat copies and Ibanez's. Works the same way as the Fender 5-way switch but this one has the 8 contacts in a single row.

I don't have anything bad to say about this one. The switch feels smooth when changing positions and the build quality is excellent. I've soldered wires on and off this switch multiple times and with no heat damage whatsoever.

5/5!

Works fine

Installed this on my project guitar.
The switch is a bit stiff - not sure if that's a pro or con. Depends on your taste.

Unfortunately malfunctioned

I had that misfortune to get obviously broken switch. Bad contact in one position... I did not want to wait for the new order, so I went and bought similar switch locally (for 4.20 euro compering to 2.90 which is really insignificant), and guess what; they not just similar they are exactly same. Only difference is the packaging, one says HB, one Boston... So I don't recommend ordering this and waiting if You can buy it somewhere locally and get the job done quick.
