It might help to assign two buttons to the fire button on some shooters. It's a little relief on the one joint. But for track and field type games, don't be a wuss! hehe. If you don't break a sweat on those, you're not trying hard enough! |

But, honestly, I feel like I'm developing tendonitis in my forearms from these damn things. |

For sure for shooters, it's rough on the hands. After a while of playing my hand gets pretty tired too. Strange how I don't recall this ever happening in my youth :lol and I don't believe every game I ever played had top class buttons. |

But if the switches are E-Switches, the issue is exacerbated by the 50gram switch. In my opinion, that design was really poorly thought out. Those little buttons on top of microswitches are designed to be pressed from directly above. Any actuator provided by the manufacturer of any switch of that type, is designed to interact with the little plunger in exactly that way. The buttons you have are pushing sideways as well, and that creates friction and wear. The pushbuttons you ended up with are really counter-intuitive in how they are perceived by the new builder. At first blush, it looks like a great way to manage under panel space, as they don't have nearly the footprint of the other buttons. But the price you pay in performance for that space savings is too dear, and the new builder is usually the unfortunate one who get's "stuck" by them. The very same thing happened to me 10 years ago with my first panel, so I have felt your pain. --- Quote ---- Can anybody recommend me an alternative product (note: must be white, concave, and designed for 1 1/8” hole; other than that, don’t care)? I’m seriously mulling the idea of buying all new buttons. --- End quote --- Try the CLASSX™ buttons, with the leaf switches. My opinion on the subject is that once you have, it will be difficult to accept less. But if you find that you like the clickiness of the switches on the X-Arcade panel, you can remove the switches from your current buttons, and swap them with the True-Leaf Pro switches, as the CLASSX buttons are also compatible with standard micros. Somehow, and as Yotsuya seems to agree, I don't think you will want to... I wouldn't. ;) |

Once you go leaf, you'll never go cherry. :) |
