I'll give it a go, fingers crossed.

Thanks, I appreciate the clarification on the switch just having a different housing. I'll have to do some further research on "bouncing", interesting stuff.

A 12 volt battery w/ a pot and a few other components. The plan is it wont be running more than 5 milliamps through it. I ended up getting this so not exactly a conventional momentary switch.

Awesomesauce! This is exactly the clarification I needed as I unfortunately got my part from a less "reputable", that being Temu, source.

Thanks for the feedback and info, I'll know what to look for next time. Unfortunately, I purchased a tattoo pedal as the momentary switch, thinking it would be easier to operate. link Btw. thanks for clarifying everything has resistance, that concept confused me more than I thought it would.

I'm planning to add a momentary switch to a single loop DC circuit. Will this cause any amount of resistance in the circuit? I'm a complete noobie when it comes to electronics, any resource links or clarification is appreciated. I know the type of material/width of wire and a pot will cause resistance but will any component put in line with the circuit cause resistance, and if so how do I go about measuring the resistance for each component within the circuit?
