Microswitches are usefull in other departments than home-arcade-building and vintage-arcade-preservation. Those other departments is what they make them for, they don't care about us. Guess the only option is for the Andy's and Randy's to start a new production line for the enthusiasts.

Does anyone have recommendations on the best leaf switch buttons, where to get them from new?  I got the groovy game gear micro leaf switches and those are many times better to me than the plain zippy switches I had, which one wore out after a couple months already so I got the microleaf and couldn't believe how much better and responsive they are.  So I'm guessing the leaf switches might just add to that continuum of improvement I have seen and be even better, at least I'm hoping.  I know that I just bought 2 wico leaf nos joysticks and just today got them, and first thing I can see is they just feel amazingly different than a micro switch joystick.  So I just don't see why someone isn't capitalizing off of that fact.

GGG has their True Leaf Pro switches which are very nice and available now for LED or solid color buttons.  But they only work in the GGG buttons.  FWIW, I think the GGG buttons (ClassX and EI) are a lot nicer than the typical Happs.

The Rollie Leaf switch looks nice - works in a standard button - but I've never seen them in stock anywhere.   :dunno
