Pedal Switcher problem...bad switches?

All three of my Pedal Switchers are exhibiting the same issue...each of them has at least one switch that doesn't function properly.
I don't see a lot of discussion regarding bad switches, so I'm somewhat flummoxed that I've got so many.
And, yes, I'm pretty gentle with my "stomping"...
Has anyone else had to deal with these issues?

How are you powering the Pedal Switchers?

Interesting... That is the correct way to power the Pedal Switcher from a Pedal Power 2+.
As a test, can you power them both with the supplied adapters to see if the behavior changes?

John,
I've got a big old bag of power supplies...how do I identify the "supplied" one?

The Pedal Switcher comes with a 9VAC/500mA adapter. I'm not sure if they always had the Voodoo Lab name on them, but current production units certainly do.
I hope that helps!

John,
Good Morning!
I tried the supplied power supply last night...no dice, bad switches continue to malfunction.
Is it possible that cinching the pedal down with zip ties is bending the internal board enough to cause bad contact?
I tried uncinching to no avail, but maybe the damages done.

John,
Seems like the HEX is the ultimate solution for my board since I have no need to use on the fly switching.
Just need the "switcher" to feed a Commander.
Am I correct that the HEX would fulfill that need?
And if so, when can I get one?
I'd be happy to beta test...
