Rocker switches are commonly used as an on/off switch that rocks (rather than trips) when pressed, meaning the rocker opens or closes the circuit upon actuation. So one side of the rocker switch is raised while the other side is depressed, much like a seesaw or rocking horse. But what are the best rocker switches available right now?
Rocker switches are known for their ease of use as the actuation is typically intuitive, and they often provide a satisfying click or tactile feedback when activated. They come in different sizes, colors and styles, making them suitable for a wide range of uses. They’re also known for their durability and reliability. Here are the best rocker switches for 2026.
