Frank C. has more experience with this any anybody should!  I can't imagine 
how the mechanical switch could be a problem, as long as it isn't defective 
and it is aligned and adjusted correctly.  The in-line switches are prone to 
leaking if you use the wrong brake fluid or buy one made in Asia.  I would 
take another look at the mechanical switch.
