Been scratching my head on this also. I'm thinking of just ordering one from each and see what I like. |

Depends on what you want to do with them. Most of it is personal preference. Concave or convex? Lighted or opaque? Then there is the decision on what type of microswitches. So basically: 1 - do you want them to light up? 2 - Concave or convex buttons? 3 - how soft do you want them to be? Do you want them to have be mashed? or activated with slightest effort? 4 - what color do you want? Answer these and you can narrow it down pretty quickly |

In case none of that matters to you, if you grew up in the US and liked early 80's games, you want leaf switches. Late 80's games used standard Happ buttons and switches, so those would be most familiar. |

if you're over 30, Id say you're gonna like the IL/Suzo/Happ concave style (classic arcade machines had these). if you're under 30, Im gonna guess you'll prefer the convex sanwa style (fighter type games generally have these)... |
