New: Now also with 3 push-buttons per unit.
The m.switch is a high-quality universal push-button control for handlebars with 1 in. or 22 mm (7/8 in.) tube diameter in a plain and elegant design.
These finely CNC machined hand controls in combination with an electronic push-button control unit (not included in the kit) are used to operate all electrical features, e.g. lights, turn signal, E-Starter, horn, etc.
The casing is made from CNC machined billet aluminum and is available in mirror polished or reflective black finished surfaces respectively.
The compact design casing permits mounting two or more units on one handlebar.
Each unit is equipped with two or three push buttons in black or stainless steel. Different looks matching or contrasting the casing can be combined freely. Two flush built-in M5 stainless steel mounting screws (only one screw on the three-button version) ensure secure and stable clamping of the push-button control to all handlebars.
The push-buttons are of high quality, very robust design and vibration- and spray water-proof (IP65). The adequate size and ergonomic pressure point (easy, mechanical detent) provide for a definite actuation sensing - even when operated with gloves. This feedback allows shifting without the need to check the operation.
Each push-button is equipped with two terminals for an easy optional circuit layout with only one or two cables. The internal ground terminal is already provided for the 'one cable layout'. Therefore, the routing of the cable inside the handlebar can be performed easily.
The push buttons are available separately and can be replaced if damaged. The m.switch is of course compatible with all common push-button controls, e.g. the m-Unit.

Motogadget m.button
Regular price $145.00Another innovation from motogadget: the m.button.
It's a big help - in combination with the new m.unit blue, basic, and m.unit v.2 - in reducing 'cable clutter' and simplifying wiring harnesses.
Integrated into the handlebar tube - or any other adequate location - this tiny cylinder will electrically connect all handlebar instruments, switches, and buttons.
Using state-of-the-art bus technology, the m.button digitally processes signals and transmits them to the m.unit over a thin cable.
The electrical consumers will then be switched inside the m.unit.
All control wires are moved into the handlebar. This saves space, weight, labour, and time. A 'must have' for custom bikes with clean-look handlebars.
In simple facts:
a) normally, the operating current (e.g. headlight or turn signals) is transmitted directly via the wiring of the handlebar switches. Due to the high currents, cables with large cross-sections have to be routed from the fuse box to the switch and back to the electrical consumer.
The result: big cable bundles. Definitely, a 'no go' for custom bikes with restricted space or a concealed electrical system.
b) using the m.unit without the m.button, just a thin cable for each switch- or button-controlled feature has to be routed to the m.unit. These cables only carry minute control currents. All high loads and currents are switched directly at the m.unit and transmitted directly to the electrical consumers. This already leads to a significant reduction and simplification of the wiring harness. Here you can see the example of a circuit diagram.
c) using the m.unit blue, basic, or m.unit v.2 in combination with the tiny m.button, you will once again reduce the number of cables that have to be routed! All switches/buttons on the handlebar are connected at the shortest distance possible and concealed inside the handlebar. Consequently, you will have to route only ONE thin cable from the m.button to the m.unit. All loads and currents will be switched directly at the m.unit (see explanations above). A layout reduced to the max! Here you can see the example of a circuit diagram with the use of m.button
The m.button is completely moulded in, making it water-tight and resistant to vibrations.
The m.button is equipped with connections for
- turn signal, left side
- turn signal, right side
- headlight (low beam and high beam)
- E-starter
- horn
- brake light switch, front brake
m.button – dimensions
Diameter: 12 mm

Attention: The only intended use of the m.button is in combination with m.unit blue or m.unit v.2
