[sdiy] are Mouser toggle switches really that good?!

On this score, I note that the NKK datasheet specifies 25,000 cycles for
silver-plated, and 50,000 cycles for gold-plated.  The Taiway datasheet
specifies 50,000 cycles.  Hence, on the face of it, the quality of these two
are not that different.  Now, perhaps the real question is, do you believe
the claims in the datasheet?
