I'm going to need some relays & switches to control lights, a compressor & other accessories in my 5th Gen. SPod and SwitchPro seem to be the go-to solutions for many T4R folks. Amazon lists several alternatives for 8 gang switch controllers that run about $160 as compared to SwitchPros $549 price tag. I know that in life, you usually get what you pay for and reliability is important to me, but electrical relays and fuse boxes aren't rocket science. Apples to apples, the knock-offs have the same specs w/ regard to load ratings and usually offer a more complete set of accessories out of the box (mounting plates, cables, buss bars). Anyone have experience installing & using these?
Thank you!

One Amazon example :
"8 Switch Panel Control System Teochew-LED 8 Gang Touch Switch Panel with Circuit Breaker for Marine Boat Jeep Truck Car 4X4, 2 Years Warranty"

Here is another option: SLIMS 6X Switch Panel with Fuse Panel - 6 Button – SLIMS Depot

I have one on my workbench that I need to install. I hooked it up to power and played with the buttons to make sure it wasn't bad and seems real nice. I suspect it is identical to the S-Tech one. I actually suspect they are all made by some company who sells them to others to put their names on them. You can buy the relay/fuse box part of it empty on Amazon all day long.

I also ordered the S-Tech mount bracket from S-Tech to use on my Slims Depot setup. I believe it arrived the other day but haven't opened or played with it yet.

That all being said, when I placed my order with S-Tech for the bracket he texted me asking questions to make sure it would work. He didn't know I already had a switch box from someone else so was double checking I ordered the right thing. Seemed super helpful and friendly.

I built my own. I use the OEM blank slots, with custom push switches. This way if a light or relay goes bad, I can track it and easily replace it or the fuse. I can run 5 things requiring relays and 5 straight fused. So when I added my radios for comms, I simple ran the 2 lead wires and added the appropriate size fuse in the box.

There are multiple places to buy a fuse/relay box, and some sell prewired. That looks like a nice alternative. I use 3 spots for lights, 2 for comms. I still have 2 blanks.
