I have the soft touch switches in a Sanwa Jlw and I love them. they are silent. I also have the cherry switches that typically come in a Happ super and they are very nice too.

I agree with alot of the others here too on the soldering thing. I have no problem soldering, I do it all the time but I really don't see much of a need for soldering to the switches. I do alot of arcade work for others and many times the soldered switches are the fault. Crimps are perfectly fine as long as they are the correct size and are tight enough. Also keep a few extra switches because they can fail on you

Some people actually use the correct size quick connects? Hmm must just be all the dumb people around here that do this :D

That QD is the right size for that terminal, it's just bent up.
