Dipswitch switcher systems

I am currently looking at getting a switching system, preferably 8 loops, and I really like the tactile element of the dipswitches present on the Octaswitch series. However, they are huge. Way too big. I then discovered these: http://www.flexreaction.com/compound-88.html which I like a lot, but are pretty pricey. So, I guess what I'm asking is: Are there any other switching systems available that use a dipswitch system or something similarly tangible? I'm no good with screens or anything I have to programme.

    The one you link to seems a very sensible price for what's involved.

    The octo-switch 3 is a lot smaller than its predecessors. 
    The Carl Martin system also works very, very well. 

    There are a few other options but they are either pricey, massive or both. 
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.
