| Happ Competition Pro. They're a bit crap |

Hello, All my parts have arrive :D (http://negnegneg.blogspot.com). I really wanted to buy Sanwa buttons but I'm using 18mm (3/4) mdf and feared routing too deep might cause the mdf to be too weak. So I bought competition pro's (convex as that's the style I wanted) instead. For my side pinball and coin/control buttons that I wasn't bothered about I bought some cheap IL buttons. In comparison the IL's are so much better. My issue with the Happ is there is so much play between the plunger and the surround it's unreal, there must be 1.5 to 2mm and when you press you get a slight sideways wobble as well. Why didn't anyone tell me Happ are so crap :'( I'll know for next time and won't be recommending these to anyone. On the plus side, I think I bought good with the LS-32's, they're just lovely :applaud: though my only minor worry is you can't screw the ball top tight, it just goes to the end then spins on it's own. I'd have preferred it to be tight. |

I've really become fond of the goldleaf buttons from ultimarc. And the bottom of the joystick shaft has a slot for a screwdriver to tighten the ball. A small dab of purple loctite isn't a bad idea. good day. |

Thanks for the tip, I'll try it out :) oh, the u-track has a lovely motion too, very smooth. A bit of noise, but that's to be expected. Can't wait to get it lit up. I can't believe the suppliers are charging so much for the LED block, I've made one for < $2 in a matter of minutes. |

I don't have a cabinet to install them yet, but they feel like top notch. Plus, I have to hold them right up to my ear to hear them click. |

They don't do convex buttons, and besides I'm from UK so have to make do with what I'm given ;) Do you not find the gold leaf ones too 'dead', seems to me like they make no sound, not much press action and require hardly any force to contact. |
