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.

Ok, so I'm attempting to adjust my shopping cart.
The "True-Leaf Pro" switches cannot be used with anything other than the "Electric ICE 2™ Lightable Horizontal Pushbutton", correct? :-\

At the moment. Standard nylon colors are in, just not on the store yet.

Is there an eta on when the option of using the pros with non lighted buttons?(I'd like to make a CP and send it to Hector to test). ;D
Anyway I guess I'll have to hold off.
(BTW. Let me know when you get in pink joysticks and buttons). ;D

Well, I finally got a chance to test the True Leaf pros in test CP. I got my package of EI buttons and LED-Wiz controllers before Xmas but the holidays have been hectic.
The True Leafs definitely have a different feel to them vs the microswitches. It's more of a solid feel, like the button and switch are one piece vs a plunger hitting a separate switch. Hard to describe exactly, but they do feel more like the leaf buttons of a real arcade machine. I don't have a real arcade cab in the house to test side by side, but I did stop by the local arcade a couple of days ago - just to get a feel of the buttons. ;D
I tested using several shooting games (Galaga, Asteroids, 1942). The True Leaf comes 'out of the box' with a very high actuation point. It's a little different than what I'm used to so I had to adjust to it a little - after that they worked great. Quick, smooth cycling, fairly quiet but a little noisier than the quietest Arcade Prime's. The noise is mostly from the different button materials, IMO. I didn't do any adjustments to the leafs, but I may play with that after I get the CP built.
Overall: The True Leafs are a very high quality option. Very close to the arcade cab feel, but not exact (at least with the EI buttons). I'll definitely be using them as the primary fire buttons in my cab.
ETA: I removed the 'mini' from the title. (Not really a mini review anymore.)

Hate to bump an old thread.....
Do these tru-leaf switches exist anymore? If not is there something comparable?
I am building a defender control panel and am looking for a switch/button that will feel close to the original. The standard microswitches aren't cutting it for me.
