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.

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.

It's not a tangent or any more of a special interest than any thing else mentioned. You posted your own review, which of course was highly subjective.
All gamers aren't looking for the same thing you are in a button. Nevertheless, original arcade feel is one other quality a button may have.
And since I was leaning toward the CLASSX™/True-Leaf Pro™ which you mentioned first, I said it would be great if someone looking for the same qualities in a button/switch as I am were to be a tester.

I started this thread as my review of buttons and switches that I have actually used. Of course it's highly subjective - I've never said that it was not and that's why I tried to be specific about what I like/dislike about them rather that a generic 'this is the best'.
And yes, I know that I mentioned the CLASSX™/True-Leaf Pro first. I did start the thread and all. :dunno I really have no idea what you're getting at there.
Your first post in the thread was an honest and relevant question. RandyT answered with his thoughts. I've not tried the True-Leafs yet, so I didn't respond - I really don't know.
Your point that getting reviews from great classic gamers would be something that you're interested in is fine. I'd have some interest myself. (But I'm more interested in just plain good reviews.)
But you've spent four posts now going on about how you want 'great classic gamers' to review these and other button/switches. That's fine. But it's not really the point of this thread. You could buy a couple of these and try them for yourself. They're not very expensive for a couple to test.
If testing by 'great classic gamers' is that important to you, then start a thread about it. Maybe you'll get more interest in it. Maybe enough people will agree with you that it will get the ball rolling between the manufacturers and the 'great classic gamers'. Or maybe you could start contacting people and set up this testing yourself.
But what ever you do, I'm asking you to please stop crapping in this thread.
Thanks.

No, you're crapping in the thread you started.
I made a statement about master gamers doing reviews and you decide to throw a fit?
There are a lot of things said in this thread that were not said by you. Things that didn't seem to get you upset.
You didn't get upset when LeedsFan said "button choice was purely personal preference".
You didn't get upset when your buddy wweumina said that "the best three games to test were Galaga, Donkey Kong and Track and Field Field" or said that a "toothbrush would give as objective an opinion as anyone else".
But you got upset and decided to rant in two posts(so far) because I mentioned using a master gamer as a tester?
So obviously since what I said is no further "off topic" than what any one else said, this is obviously a personal problem that you need to deal with.
This garbage should not have gone past post #18

And yet half the posts since then are yours and you've just re-quoted them all.
The idea of having great classic gamers review buttons is an interesting one, their opinion would be just as relevant as everyone else who has reviewed them. Might be worth its own thread...?

Why a whole thread? It's simple and you just said it. (Now should I badger you for saying it?).
