You can get it at LEGO Shop@Home. It's reference 8886. There's also a longer version, available to some countries, with reference 8871.

I tried with the switch, and it didn't work. I've updated the article to add this info.

When I get the opportunity I will, even though my gut tells me it's not going to work...

When I try, I'll add the results to the TBs article.
