X-Arcade replacement buttons
cholin:
I saw an aucton on eBay for some buttons that I was considerring. I saw it in another topic, but it's getting no response. I wanted to know if X-arcade buttons are in fact any good?
cholin:
Come on guys, cant answer this one? There's been like 10 new responses on the board yet not even a view for this?

The concensus seems to be that the switches on them aren't quite as good as Happs, but that they are pretty good for their price.
cholin:
So for non-commercial use, they're good enough, right?
spystyle:
If you are on a budget, X-arcade buttons and sticks are good, if you are a perfectionist, go with Happs.
The most noticable difference is the sound of the microswitches, X-arcade's are rather loud, but it's fine if you have big speakers on your cab.
Also note : the X-arcade buttons have a maximum mounting depth of 3/4", so if you are planning on using 1/8" plexi you'll need to build your control panel out of 5/8" material (5/8" + 1/8" = 3/4")
