GGG buttons, switches review
D_Harris:
What we need is a review of "leaf-switch" replacements by the most qualified individuals possible. And on the game play buttons. I'd just put micro-switches on the player start buttons, because it makes no difference how noisy those are.
Someone like Hector Rodriguez of California would be the best guy to do this, because he has the world record on Track N Field. Any button/switch combination that doesn't pass muster will not get past him.
Master gamers on other games like StarGate and Asteroids would also have valuable input.
On these games the ability to rapid fire is crucial.

Unless you think you'll be hitting the mechanical limit of the switches I don't think you really need to be talking to Hector. Far more important is the look and feel to an individual. If you want pure speed, buy an electric toothbrush..

Update to my post above in regards to track and field times, with a slight change in technique the premium soft touch micro/prime button combo is getting very close to the class-x. I still prefer the tru-leaf but only just. For some reason the micro leaf still aren't quite as fast for me.

I'm not talking about cheating. I'm talking about getting the best feel and response, and it is the consensus among classic world class gamers that original leaf-switches hold the title in this respect.
So this is about which switch button combination comes the closest and Hector is as qualified as you can get on this subject. If he ever said switch "X" is a just as good as original leaf-switches for Track N Field, then that would be good enough for me.

There was nothing to compare them to at the time, other than the originals. And that never happened. But there is something now, that has a much smaller footprint and is designed to be used with lighting, without modification. I'll be very interested to hear how users think the feel compares ;).
