What to do with switches?

I have a few handfuls of 0.4VA toggle and push button switches. And I have no good purpose for them. Anyone got any ideas?
 
You can donate them to a school,
Make an art project or curiosity project (talk to the local science center/museum to see if they need something)
Or throw them away if they are the cheap eBay switches sold for a few dollars - the contacts are poor on many of those.
 
No, these a good C&K switches from long ago.
 
Due to my lack of experience, when starting with electronics, I bought on the counter a big bunch of extremely cheap pushbuttons.

Some time later, even knowing their bad quality I built a matrix keyboard that later I kept using for years to test all my designs with micros involving a keyboard. If they worked with those junk buttons, they would work with better ones.

Latter, tired of that clunky thing, ditched them and built smaller keyboards with quality keys.

Don't waste your time with junk.
 
You just need more storage drawers...
And a label maker...
And a bunch more different types of buttons/switches so you'll have a reason to have all the storage drawers...
And...
