New Product: CLASSX™ Standard Colors Pushbuttons - GroovyGameGear.com

[RandyT]

Another GroovyGameGear.com Exclusive!  The CLASSX™ Standard Pushbutton is the latest in our new CLASSX™ pushbutton line, offering features never before seen on other arcade pushbuttons.  We realize that lighted controls are not for everyone, and have answered the demand for a classic-style, opaque arcade pushbutton with premium switch options.  It is currently the only button of it's kind designed and manufactured from the ground up to use multiple switch types with equal precision and accuracy, without requiring any adapters or external components.  Including our custom designed True-Leaf Pro™ premium leaf switch.

Standard CLASSX™ Pushbutton features are:

• Smooth, Precise Operation - No gaps between the plunger and the switch actuator provides fast, positive action.
• Unique 2-piece design - Universal switch holder accepts Standard Micros, Micro-Leaf-style and even True Leaf switches!
• Twist and Click switch assembly attachment allows for simpler installations. Wire switches outside the panel and simply snap them into place.
• Improved Fingertip Retention - The CLASSX™ CONCAVE pushbutton strikes a perfect compromise between the early leaf buttons and the modern, flatter style.
• Dense, classic colors.  The same as those used in the original arcade machines
• Extra long body for easy mounting into thick panels.
• Improved Appearance - The CLASSX™ pushbutton sits slightly higher and sports a more rounded bezel to enhance the overall control panel appearance.
• Super Durable Materials - With basic care, the CLASSX™ pushbutton is designed to last a lifetime.
• Includes pushbutton nut.
• Made in the USA!

We're still waiting on the black ones, but the other colors are in, so we went ahead and put them on the store.  Base price with the Standard Soft Touch sub-20-gram-resistance microswitch is $2.10.  All other switches are available at reasonable upgrade pricing.

Thanks again to all who support GroovyGameGear with their arcade controls purchases.  Items like these that are geared specifically to this community cost a lot of money in development and especially tooling.  Without your support, they wouldn't be possible.

YES!!! This is exciting!
Excellent idea. You and Andy are really raising the bar for arcade and mame products.   

F'in great job Randy!

Randy, I've never bought from you in the past, but this is a game changer. I love the two piece design, hopefully the price is right too.

Although I don't need parts right now, the next time I do, I'll be taking a serious look at your entire catalog, just based on these buttons alone.

Sweet!

suggestion: some sort of package deal with microleafs. I'll order 12 Blues fo sho (if the price is right, lol)

Will translucent versions of these be made available, eventually?

[SammyWI]

Very nice.  These are great in the Electric Ice versions.  The ClassX buttons have an even better feel for those who don't want / need lighting.

Randy,

Is it possible to mix the button and the rim/bezel on an order?  For example - I'd like to see a lit button with a solid colour bezel.

Be Seeing you,

Finally! Too bad I'm unemployed at the moment and can't buy anything.

The 2 piece design is great.
I recently drilled in for flipper buttons on my Mame cab and clearance makes it a little tough to click in a snap switch on a standard happ type button. I used two extra ice buttons I had and it works out perfect.

Thanks for the positive comments.  The buttons are now on the store and ready for purchase.  The first post as been updated to reflect this, with links and a price.

I just reduced the price on the Micro-Leaf style switches when ordered with any of the new CLASSX™ style buttons, including the Electric ICE 2.  Also put a possibly temporary special price on the standard Micro-Leaf™ switches for others who might want to upgrade to those switches.

I figure it's a long shot, but is there any chance you will be selling those leaf switches for use with joysticks?

P.S.: Now it seem as though a great comparison would be between the "True-Leaf™" and the "Rollie Leaf Switch".
