GGG buttons, switches review

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.

Well, we can argue just for argument's sake or we can discuss arcade controls. I'd like to discuss arcade controls. So:
I'd be interested in what some competitive gamers think of GGG's buttons along with the others out there vs original leafs. But I wouldn't take their opinion as the most important one to me. Duplication of original feel is one factor but it's not the only factor. It may be the single most important, overriding thing to others, but not to me. There is a lot of personal preference in this. A competitive gamer may have very different preferences than a particular BYOACer.
I hope that my review helps some people that may never have thought to try anything past maybe an Xarcade or some Happs. There are better quality parts out there that are worth the expense and effort (IMHO).
In the end, the only opinion that counts is your own. I'd encourage people to try them yourselves, or you'll never really know for sure.

Sooo....we've been shipping a lot of True-Leaf Pro's lately. I'm anxious to hear what folks think of them. Anyone? :)

Actually, I just placed an order for EI buttons, LEDs, and a couple of LED-WIZs. I did also order a couple of true-leafs to try out. If I like them, I'll place them as the primary fire buttons on a two player CP.

Are they easily identifiable from the standard Tru-leaf? I received my last buttons about the time you announced the Pro. The new ones seem a bit better, but that might be tuning.
I'll be waiting for the solid colours before ordering more.

The Pro's have gold-plated contacts and have a layered body. They are like night and day with the economy versions.
I'm hoping to get some boxes full of solid buttons any day now.
