Where does the vandal resistance come in? What are we expecting the vandal to do and how are we resisting him or her?
 
The switch has no external screws or bolts holding it in place. It is also very difficult to damage it by kicking it or prying on it. In other words, it is resistant to vandals.

This is no different from the stock buttons on any case.
 
if you go to the manufacturer website, they are mostly designed for applications like elevators and things that are open to the public. it's simply a nice looking switch that can't be easily messed with... it's really deisnged for things that aren't molded plastic. just so happens, they look bad ass, lol
 
vandal switches are less extrusive and take a little more pressure to press down.

My old button on my case kinda stuck out and was pretty soft so i could run my hand across the facia and if i hit it the wrong way it'd easilly push through (and turn off the computer).

But I just bought it because it looekd cool. :p
 
The vandal switch was never meant for computer use, it was meant for industrial use where it would see a lot of fingers and the occasional vandal who tries to pry it out or deface it.
