GGG buttons, switches review
RandyT:
Here are a couple more tips. If you want the button to have more resistance (not referring to the bad kind of resistance you get from a stiff microswitch) then take the spring out and give it a little stretch. Don't go crazy, just stretch it a little at a time until you get a feel for the proper amount that adds the resistance you want.
You can also tweak the actuation point of both the Micro-Leaf and the True-Leaf Pro switches by giving the metal parts a little bend. Many like that fast, "hair trigger" responsiveness, but if you'd rather have the switch activation happen a little lower, then give the metal arms a little tweak.
That's one of the biggest advantages to this style switch / button...You can tune them to get the feel you want.

Before you decide, you might want to give these a try. They are only compatible with the CLASSX™ pushbuttons.
Also, it's true that the translucent CLASSX style buttons are made of a different, harder material. They need to be, in order for them to have those excellent lighting properties. But for that, they are also much more durable than normal nylon buttons. With any luck, we will have some standard nylon colors in the CLASSX form factor very soon (for folks who want the opaque, more "dead" sounding material and the True-Leaf Pro switch option)

Yeah, I should have just grabbed a true-leaf while I was at it. I'm thinking I'll just bite the bullet and spring for the ClassX buttons - they just look sooo nice when lit. The slight extra noise is not that big of a deal. I'll probably pick up a true-leaf to at least try in the primary fire button on the CP.

So am I right in saying that it's been long enough to say that the CLASSX™/True-Leaf Pro™ option is the closest one can get to the response and fell of the original leaf switches without actually using original leaf switches?

I am very comfortable making the statement that these are the best substitute for the originals, bar none.
