They are too "clicky" for my family's taste. My noob mistake assuming white w/red = cherry. --- End quote --- The E-Switches are very likely only 50gram rated switches and probably really actuate at a bit less, regardless of what they might have been sold to you as. Your experience is a pretty good testament to the validity of the "lighter is better" philosophy. I like your project, and I get a bit nostalgic when I see a TT1 spinner in a panel, so I'll cut you a deal on the Groovy Standard Soft-Touch™ switches for your HAPP buttons so the feel between player 1 and 2 matches better. The HAPPs will still have that extra bit of dead space before the switch actuation, but the switches will make a big difference. Send me an email if you are interested. RandyT |

Thanks for the generous offer Randy. I'm going to stick with the happs sourced stuff for now. Eric: something not mentioned so far, to throw a third option out there, I really like the microleaf style switch. They are so light I am surprised the button comes back up sometimes. really no felt or audible click. If you like leaf switch feel they have to be pretty close. I have only encountered leaf switches in arcades, haven't used them in my own panel so I can't really contrast the two. |

I tested it out by playing Galaga (which never felt right shooting to me), and it was like 1981 all over again. They are great switches and well worth the money. |
