They've been out, but in Europe only the Banda Allround, whereas Asia has all 3.

They play well, very classic. Reviews have been out, search the forum.

What are the Vega Switch's characteristics?

Ah I see, sounds good for people who are too scared or too lazy to glue their rubbers when they could get better results doing it themselves. I saw that Tibhar started doing that with Grass D.Tecs, but that's a bit of a different story since it's often recommended to glue long pips with a glue sheet.

Is the Switch option going to be available for all Vega rubbers?

Nittaku Tribus and Tribus Carbon blades.
