Cole and DJ go over the AXON and AXON SL switches and share their tips for installation. These switches are designed to work in conjunction with the GBRS Group HYDRA Mount.
Great product & product support.
Love it, but needs a 7”USBC/SYNC light standalone switch
Good purchase

Exactly what I needed for running my laser in a non traditional position.Thanks !
Bought this item to use with the Hydra Riser, and it works great. The different cord lengths for the light and laser were a game-changer. Thanks again
Got a Hydra setup and Unity directly doesn’t supply the 10” crane leads. IMO for that setup you need the additional 3”at least over the factory 7” for the laser being in the rear and raised. Great product, only semi negative is the SYNC option doesn’t come with my specific model/type ordered but fine either way.
The axon is a perfect fit for my surefire/holosun laser setup. The buttons are great. The light button is perfectly recessed to not have AD. Overall great product.
Switch is great!! With the flat and angled design you have no issues with what button you’re pressing. Also you have to press them, I’ve had others that would activate with the slightest pressure. Unity delivers as usual.
Great product & product support.

Love the dial just thought I ordered it in tan highly recommend this quality product!
Great product
This is very convenient and necessary if you mount your laser in places other than near the muzzle of the rifle. I use a unity riser and mount the laser just after my red dot so I need the additional cable length that this provides.
As always, service was great and received the unit much sooner than expected.
Practical applications meet the retail market!! Have been waiting for a variant of this switch for a while. Works great.
This is my second switch and I will buy more in the future when needed!
Mounting solution needs work. Nuts are very difficult to seat in mounting bar and are lost very easily rendering the switch useless. Unity was quick to replace them at no charge. Great customer service.
Love this switch. Definitely worth the money.
Length was right on! Pricey but if you run their raiser you need it
It's an Axon with longer cables. Works like every other Axon you are familiar with. I wish there were more choices for the leads available such as for use with the link USB c system unity has or other more radical switches like the Rein 3.0.
Additionally the lack of color options is not just beyond disappointing when you are paying this much for a switch but a slap in the face. GBRS needs to offer this in tan like you can get from unity themselves. If you guys don't think you can't sell 500 tan NGAL versions of these well...
Bought a unity tactical dual switch over the holidays. The package was delayed due to them being out of the office that week. I contacted them o find out where my package was. He politely apologized and next day aired it out. Got it the next day!!! They are a great company of bad **** navy seal dudes. Why wouldnt you buy from them is the question!!!!
Exactly what I needed. Works great.
I'm not as happy with this switch as I hoped. It does what it is intended for however the mounting system is not good in my opinion. It is all polymer and on my rail whe secured the screws stick out just enough to snag clothing and scratch you without seriously breaking skin but being enough to annoy you. Over all I'd give this product a middle of the road rating as I think it does the job well but can also have some more improvements.
Derek,
Thanks for taking time to send in a review. In reading about the issues you're having, we think you may have over-tightened the screws. Take a look at Unity Tacticals torque specs for reference and see if some adjustments help. This link will download PDF instructions to your device.

Thanks for supporting GBRS
This extended cable option paired with a hydra mount pays big dividends when it comes to conserving rail space and optimizing weapons manipulations for varying light conditions. Well worth the investment!
The Axon switch for the Hydra is fantastic. I got the 14" and am using a 9.5" handguard. It wraps around with enough slack, but not too much. The Hydra is phenomenal. I have two and am amazed at how much it changes my night vision approach. No more super heavy front end with a suppressor, LAM and light. Move the LAM to the center with the Hydra and you're gold. Thank you GBRS! Great products, great guys and 100% PATRIOTS!
Works good. good switch no light ND. long cable allow me to have flexibility of setting the accessories.
I can always count on GBRS for great products and fast shipping, it my go to place…
Nothing decent is cheap in this world. If you are running a PEQ/laser towards the back with your red dot this is the most aesthetic way to make that work. I rest my thumb on the light button housing and have zero light NDs.
Works great. Needs to come in tan and be the sync model as well.
