Is it just me or is a decent rocker switch kits harder to come by now-a-day? Maybe it's just a personal preference, but I hate these touch screen switch panels. I understand that they add functionality, but in my opinion, they also greatly remove in practicality. Nothing beats the satisfaction of a tactile rocker I can quickly click without much though. Plus, they look better and just feel purpose built when you have the right kit in your rig.

What are your thoughts on each, I would like to know your opinion?

yes, I have already used up all my factory switches.

If the room was there, I would have preferred the rocker switches. The current OEM aux switch is fine to me also. It is some of the aftermarket ones that are just barely small membrane electric contact switches I think that suck.

This is one of the only ones I have seen. its reasonably priced, I just wonder about the quality.

I'd kill for something like the Toyotas with blanks for all the unused switches but that's just not a thing anymore. I prefer rocker switches to panels but there's just not really clean places to install them anymore without a large box and a Switch Pros gives me 12 controls from a panel the size of my wallet with only one cable through the firewall. Pretty hard to argue with it.
