GGG Micro-Leaf vs Lever Arm Zippy?
« on: June 27, 2017, 12:15:38 pm »
I'm building an arcade panel and right now I have some generic switches that came with the buttons I ordered and they are too hard to depress.  I was looking at the micro-leaf switches groovy game gear

does anyone know what the actuator force is on these? also how are they different from the lever arm zippy microswitch from paradise shop?

You may want to look into these:

Not sure if RandyT is carrying them anymore, but it's worth a shot to ask if he has any left.

That seems even more complex.   ;D Essentially I'm asking can I achieve what I want with the 90 cent zippy levers?  Because from the photos, I cannot tell the difference.

The ones with the levers aren't meant for buttons.  They are for joysticks (such as the Happ Super).

I have the micro leafs and I think they are great.  They feel very close to leaf switches are are very quiet.

aha! That is the information I was looking for.  Thank-you!  I'm still very very new to this.  Cheers!
