[sdiy] Flat vs. round toggle switch actuators

[Antonio Tuzzi]

sorry, I'm minimalist,
I don't care about direction semantic in a switch, I already know all
the switches on my synths are going all to the same direction...
(otherwise bad interface)

means you can be wrong just the first time you touch the synth (and
just the 50% of the"first" time)

nobody is mounting at 45 deg or 135  (I guess...)
