Are you kidding?

should I ?

A friend was asking me for this .

This can't be difficult to do. Use a drill to make a hole in the side of the box and you can use a circular switch like that one, use a saw and/or a file and you can use a squared one. I suppose you can use teeny-weeny ones if you can find them but those are so tiny they are too fiddly to mount securely in an easy way. Believe me when I say that getting the switch mounted in a way that the box closes up and everything is not wobbly, is actually harder than the work done making the switch functional, and even that is easy, I've seen terrible ones work perfectly with a big ol gaggle of epoxy. Here's a cheap switch, already wired. Just attach it and go, the one I used is of similar size & shape. Good stuff.

From your replies throughout this thread you seem to assume that everyone has a soldering iron, solder and wire, a drill, hot glue gun and space to use it all. If you have everything already then yes, it would be cheaper and easier to do it yourself. If you don't, and you have no use for them other than wanting this VGA switch, then it is much cheaper to buy it premade.

Everything you just listed except perhaps a drill (not required) costs less than the price of a VGA box. And a glue gun is not even required for this either, I didn't use one for mine. Maybe you don't think $20 is a good investment in tools to keep your equipment working forever, but without that little expenditure you will be spending heaps to buy replacements throughout your classic consoles' lifetime. Learn to do it now, not after everything breaks down on you.
