Fake happ pushbuttons?
« on: June 25, 2011, 10:28:42 pm »
I ordered some happ competition pushbuttons online and when I received them they had no markings anywhere. I recently purchased a happ pushbutton NON competition from lizardlick and on the bottom near microswitch its marked suzo happ. and the button feels more crisp.

Are my happ competition pushbuttons some kind of ripoff remake?

Apparently there are a number of buttons that were not marked

"The pushbuttons that you purchased from Paradise Arcade Shop are 100% Happ Controls Pushbuttons.  These pushbuttons were purchased from Happ in a large lot of 5,000 + units.  These pushbuttons were shipped direct from Happ and not one box was tampered with. The pushbuttons without the marking are one of the first lots that were made in China during the transition time between iL and Happ. They did not put their marking on the first lot of pushbuttons.

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

I've bought Happs before with no markings.
