It's Fender, it's Super switch, it has one serious drawback
This is a legend (like just Fender is).
QUALITY!
The build quality is very good. It will last long for sure. It allows you to put pickups in all possible configurations. It is same quality as DiMarzio or Oak Grigsby.
It also consumes a quite a lot of space (it's thick, or "fat", as you prefer). But still - it is of great quality.
IT'S LOUD
This is why I am rating this switch with 3 stars only.
Even with relatively good pickups (am am using DiMarzio always) - the click during position switching can be heard. It is utterly annoying.
Otherwise - it is quality switch.

good action
Great positive action, positive feel, much better than cheaper non-branded switches.
easy to solder, though lots of tabs can make your eyes go funny!
screws included
easily fits inside guitar cavity
what more do you want from a switch?

Expensive but worth it!
Used this switch to upgrade the selectable combinations of my superstrat including humbucker splitting etc. The quality of this switch is really perfect and it is also very good suited for soldering. Pickup switching is working without any tone or noise and each position settles very well.
If I'll need a superswitch again, I will buy this without thinking of any other.

Quality part but overpriced.
It seems to me to be the same super switch I have used from other brands. Good quality, it's a good switch. Being Fender branded packaging this costs more but also comes with *the wrong mounting screws*. Wrong size and thread. Ridiculous! Keep the screws from your old switch!

a bit heavy to use if you are used to the standard switches.

Great Quality Switch!
It works well and stops in each of 5 positions very clearly, so it's easy to use (my old switch used to stop in half-positions sometimes). The only minor inconvenience might be that in silent environment you may hear as it confidently clicks into switch positions.
First time I bought it after original switch started failing in my Solar S2.6C. I replaced it with this one and it was a great decision. Now I bought it again to replace switch in my new Solar S1.6PB before it started failing (it seems to have the same cheap switch).

Fender 5-way Super Switch
This is a standard component for me in all my Strat's. I only fit the 5-way type, so they can be easily rewired to different configurations without taking the switch out again. I've been using them for years now and never had any problems. I can change the configuration if I change any pickup. Currently this one has mid position giving bridge and neck pickups together. It could be changed to "Standard" to give mid pickup by breaking 2 links and making 1 link. Nothing else would need changing. These are just the most versatile switch around.

The best guitar swith. Period.
If you like some crazy combinations of pickup selection (for example having the "Guthrie" wiring), this switch is perfect. It can achieve great combinations that makes the guitar really versatile.
