You can save your pedal circuits from the dust from your shoes with these. Not much help in pressing the switches for me. I would argue the opposite, because I tend to step on them accidentally. However, those toppers prevented the dust and dirt to enter my pedals circuits and make the switches to malfunction. So, game changers for me. I would prefer them slightly smaller, as it has happened to step on a switch unintentionally because of the large size of the topper. However, it worths the risk.
