Does that mean if I want chunky switches for the look and feel, and they are just energising a solid state relay..... I won't need to "re-index" them if they get "un-indexrd"? Haha
If you haven't had one of those clunky switches get loose on you and rotate sideways to the point that the hot wire contacts the grounded metal case of a nearby clunky metal switch causing your cockpit to fill with smoke while you're frantically trying to rotate it back with the world's thinnest nut flying dangerously close to the ground, then have you really lived life to the fullest? I sounded like an auctioneer on ephedrine with a one word vocabulary for about 30 seconds 😬

I fly with a pair of pliers and a fire extinguisher handy these days, and my preflight includes vigorously wiggling all 18 of those switches. They usually work, and I replace one or two each year at the end of the season, but I still don't trust them, I don't like them, and they're not going on my Bronco because I don't have to follow the FAA's rules LOL
