Seems a lot simpler than the microswitch to me, would think someone could somewhat manufacture leaf switches and sell them on their own. --- End quote --- 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. |

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. --- End quote --- 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 |
