Sometimes it's useful to have a small switch rather than a push-to-make button. Most switches will not fit into a breadboard. A DIP switch array fits nicely and also happens to have 0.3" by 0.1" spacing. Super!

DIP switches tend to rock around on the breadboard and don't slide very easily, but they do save a lot of space. I find they are easier to toggle by using a retractable ballpoint pen. Retract the "nib" and then use the end to slide the switches.
