Good fit for EMG sets
Switch like many, with one advantage: it pairs well with EMG pickup sets, which means no soldering (if, of course, you use EMG sets as provided with hub and cables). I have no problem with soldering, but I choose this for another reason: I had put 85/60 set into Squier Contemporary Telecaster instead of original humbuckers. With addition of hub and battery, cavity (not overly voluminous anyway) become very cramped. So I decided to replace standard 3-way switch with this one, to make it somewhat easier to stuff everything in.
Switch looks well built and durable. Time will tell. It is not the cheapest option, but I decided to pay for convenience. With provided cables it is easy to attach it to the circuit.

Works exactly as you'd expect
Happy with the design and it was easy to install. EMG's solderless solution is really superb and I wish more manufacturers would adopt it, even if you own a soldering iron it just makes everything easier, neater and less hassle.
I will say though, despite the unique design this is feels a bit expensive for what it is, seems like it should be sold in a bundle with the 2 pickup wiring kit, or for a lower price individually.

A great addition to a pickup set.
If you are planning on going totally solder-less with an EMG artists pickup set or even a regular set, I would highly recommend picking up the toggle switch as well.
This switch is built like an absolute tank and gives you the tactile reassurance that you have hit the right switch at the right time, it's a high quality component and can take the abuse that a pickup switch should be able to.
Installation is really simple as well, it goes on the main bus component as well as the pickups and the battery and output jack, but it might require a little widening of the main pickup selector hole that is already drilled into your guitar dependant on the instrument.
I've written previous reviews on EMG components and installation, compatibility and quality are always my main points of praise, this is no different.

Great Switch
This switch is the best if you have EMG pickups because it takes 3 seconds to plug in it and it will last for many many years, you can feel the quality in this switch when flicking the switch.

Grate toggle switch
I use it for Harley Benton ex-84 with EMGs (my reserve guitar).
It works perfect: good click, no noise. It looks sturdy I think it will work for more than 5 years. I have another EMG switch on another guitar and after 8 years it still works good.
Pros
good click
no noise
solderless
Cons
-
Every product from EMG is good. You can trust that brand.
If I need to change a toggle switch at another guitar I will buy it again.

Very Nice
I bought this together with 2 EMG passive pickups (the couple H4 and H4A).
All the electronics are 100% solder-less with this switch.
100% clear and easy to follow diagrams.
Everything needed is included.
No issues installing. Zero.
Works beautifully and smoothly.
Aesthetically nice and well made.
100% satisfaction from my side.
I can't recommend this product enough, I'm very happy with both the switch and pickups.

Lets say its good, but too expensive
It's a go to switch if you have a EMG pickup set, just plug and play, no soldering required. The price is a bit high but eh, you buy free time and no soldering time :)
For me, the switch stopped working. I have other guitar with normal switch and it works really well after more time of using them, the EMG one just started making problems after just one month when switching to bridge pickup. I cleaned it and still making trouble, I might have a faulty one? I don't know, I will remove it and clean it better, maybe that would help.
