China does not have cheap labor. China has a Yuan (mostly) locked to the Dollar.
Anyway, You will end up spending all of your money on the tooling.
Even crappy simple molds are *expensive* - for the standard switch
handle (I am guessing you are talking about the paddles on a PDP-8/e
and such), I would bet that just the mold would start out at five
hundred bucks, from a discount tool and die shop (with a resulting
horrid job). For a good professional job, get into four figures.
