I need one of these! Glad I held off buying other switches.

Over on Lightfighter, Trent Zimmer posted this up:

Hey guys. The show has been great. Some really cool things from Surefire, LDI, TNVC… Ive really been impressed.

TAPS (patent pending)… I’m really excited about this. This is the low-down

Cost - Not yet set, but it will be competitive and reasonable
Availability - Current Target is summer. I am fairly confident we will hit that.
Its a Unity / TNVC product and we have put a lot of development time into it. We learned a lot the first go-around at it. The final version will be slightly different than the version we are showing now, but the feature set shouldn’t change much (If anything, it will grow.)

Features:

2 Buttons, independently programmable. Each button is set to a port, so you can orient the switch on the rail, and then make the front the light or laser you want to operate by changing the leads. Leads are changeable for length and type (Surefire / LDI) - Which we are using their leads, so we know they are solid.

Program options (Per switch)

Constant on

Momentary

Single Press (hold) for momentary - Double tap for constant

We are playing with a couple of other programming modes

So, 1 button (Device) can be momentary, the other can be constant, or double tap.

You can link or slave the two switches so both devices will come on at once (Think white light / vis laser) or IR llum / IR laser with 1 button. When you slave for 1 or 2 devices, the buttons can be independently programmed. (Button 1 will turn on both devices momentary - button 2 will turn on both devices constant)

The last really cool feature about it is the replaceable back plates. 1913 / Keymod / M-LOK. So it will direct mount to any of those standards without the need for additional rails, etc. Its going to be a bomber switch and will be competitively priced, especially for the feature set. It will come in Black / FDE. (Buttons may always be black - Krylon!)

I think that’s it, there should be some public releases with better pictures than I can take. We are just taking what we learned, rolling back to development and spending the time to make the best switch we can.

We’ve got some other really cool stuff coming out as well (Gen 4 ATOM, More FUSION accessories, NVG Recording system, Scope Mount, M-LOK FUSION adapter, etc)

Let me know if there are any questions.

Thanks!

If they make a Steiner/Surefire Y-switch for this, it could potentially trivialize switchology when combined with the DBAL-A3.

Wouldn’t that be sweet if the Bolt holes could also magically line up perfectly with the URX 3.1 rails. Then count me in for at least 1 of those and another 1 each for Mlok and Keymod. I’m liking where this is going…

Glad you guys like, it certainly caused a lot of “kid on christmas morning” faces at SHOT.

Do you know the specs on the URX hole spacing? I’ll see if either baseplate will line up.

Is the circuitry end user replaceable should something fail?

Jwknutson17 · January 29, 2015, 5:09am

Single hole over is 1.577 on my mic. Center to center. So 2 holes is 3.154, etc etc. These are just my mic’ed up measurements… Not anything published from KAC.

Hern13 · August 17, 2015, 10:50pm

Anybody know if this thing is ever gonna hit market?

bighawk · August 18, 2015, 12:17am

I called and talked to someone at TNVC a few weeks back and was told its still in the works but no release date.

goteron · August 18, 2015, 3:47am

It’s definitely coming. We are making it better everyday with design -prototype-test iterations. We want it to be 100% right the first time.

bighawk · August 18, 2015, 4:00am

Im looking forward to this switch big time

Well, it took quite awhile, and I’ll remain suspicious until it actually hits the selves, but supposedly the TAPS is finally going into production: http://soldiersystems.net/2017/01/16/firstspear-range-day-17-tnvc-taps/

I don’t know where you would fit a CR123 battery in there

If that happens there sure as he’ll better be mod2 3.1 uppers. Lol

El_Cid · January 16, 2017, 10:16pm

I need the tan version. The ST07 keeps popping out of the Steiner laser under recoil.

It says 2032.

Jwknutson17 · January 17, 2017, 12:17am

Back from the dead. Not holding my breath on this again. Until it’s in my hands…

Jwknutson17 · January 17, 2017, 2:49am

Never thought I would use my wife’s hair tie as a rifle part, but when your in a pinch, you just do what you have to do. I am assuming you are taking about the SR07-D-IT.

El oh el

Things that took less time to construct than the TAPS switch:

Empire State Building
Titanic
Apollo 11 Command Module
Chrysler Building

When this was first announced Donald Trump was still hosting the Apprentice

I’m not sure how anyone could even still care about what TNVC and Unity Tactical says at this point. They have missed at least two public deadlines (2015, 2016) with virtually no explanation other than “We want this to be the highest quality product ever and we’re making it just right!”

It’s a tape switch.

williejc · January 18, 2017, 3:25pm

Oh hell! I thought the thread was about a cable tv box when I saw the title heading.

contax_shooter · January 18, 2017, 3:46pm

Lol.

MAP
TAPS $139.00
TAPS Pro $239.00

WTF.
