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.

I'm not saying you are going to use an electric toothbrush, just that the toothbrush would give as objective an opinion as anyone else. It all depends on how you hit the buttons, whether you are a light tapper or a hard presser. I'm sure Mr Rodriguez has the buttons set up to be perfect for him and his 8 finger technique. The thing about leaf switches is that they can be adjusted so much and will alter over time so no two experiences will be exactly alike.
From what I remember the original Track and Field buttons were a bit more rounded than most other common leaf switches of the time, so if that game is your benchmark the Class-X won't be as faithful to the original machine. It will be a lot closer than any switch based product however. The other issue is that you seem to think there are a lot of options out there. The Class-x is probably your only mainstream chance of getting hold of something very close to an original leaf. I don't know what the availability of the Rollie's is on the ground but if you can find one, try it out and compare. Buy a couple and send them to Hector if you really want to.

Not true. Check out the photo....standard "deeper than IL or HAPP" leaf buttons. However, the CLASSX button plungers are not quite as deep, nor quite as tall as the originals.

Well, this is not about electric toothbrushes(which don't give opinions), or "light tapper" vs. hard presser", or how Mr. Rodriguez has his buttons set up, how leaf-switches alter over time, or how leaf-switches can be adjusted.
The Track & Field buttons were no different than other common button/leaf-switches at the time.
This is not about Class-x being as faithful to the original machine. And I never there said there were a lot of options out there.
Now to get back on track. This is about getting a great classic gamer's assessment on what button/switch combo comes the closest to the feel of the original buttons. And Track & Field is an excellent game for determining this. I for one would be interested in seeing if such a gamer can get close to his performance with a non-original button/switch set up.
If you don't care about this, then fine.

That may result in a gaming advantage over the original button/switches. :)

Actually, this thread was about my impressions of the GGG buttons that I have tried. And I'm interested in what other people that have tried them think as well.
If you have some wish for a particular gamer to test things on one particular game, that's fine. But it's a pretty narrow, specialized interest and it's really a tangent in this thread.
