Is this switch like a magnetic switch?

71008 is not a magnetic switch. If you need one, please check out our POWERTEC 71054 120V Magnetic Paddle Switch.

how much pressure to press the off button?

Funny you should ask this question! I bought the switch months ago, to retrofit a dust collector's bad switch. The dust collector is plugged into a remote on/off unit, so I rarely use the unit's switch, until two days ago. I had to relocate the dust collector and just plugged into a wall socket. The on side had a definite click to it, however to off side was spongy and, in fact, I had to push it several times to make sure the unit was off. To answer your question, I cannot tell exactly how much pressure was required, but it definitely did not seem normal.
