Mounting remote switches flat against the handguard often creates operational hurdles. Flat switch pads can be difficult to differentiate by feel under low-light or zero-light conditions, and their placement can physically or visually interfere with rearward-mounted Laser Aiming Modules (LAMs), optic mounts, or adjustment knobs. Loose switch leads also present a constant snag hazard on slings and gear.

Developed at the explicit request of Modlite Systems and produced by Driven Arms Co, the Angler is a feature-rich housing designed to position any ModButton Lite switch (single or dual lead) at an ergonomic 20-degree angle. This optimized angle establishes a natural tactile interface for quick switch indexing while maintaining clearance around rearward LAM readouts, adjustment knobs, and magnified optical setups. Manufactured in the USA from durable PA11 Nylon, the Angler weighs an ultralight 0.26 oz (7.5 grams) and integrates internal pass-through channels alongside external mini zip-tie passages for clean cable routing. 

Key Features

• Developed for Modlite Systems: Engineered directly at Modlite's request to interface perfectly with single and dual-lead ModButton Lite switches.  
• 20-Degree Ergonomic Angle: Elevates the switch to an angled surface that promotes rapid tactile differentiation in low light without obstructing optic sightlines or LAM controls.
• Integrated Cable Management: Features internal lateral pass-through routing, front cable ports, external recesses, and mini zip-tie passages to keep wiring tight against the handguard.  
• Durable PA11 Nylon Build: Constructed from high-strength PA11 polymer, offering rugged thermal and impact resistance at a weight of just 0.26 oz (7.5g).
• Uses Factory Hardware: Reuses the original hardware included with your ModButton Lite for a fast, straightforward installation.
