You might be able to save by scouring eBay...
The trick is : the X-arcade buttons and sticks are the cheapest that we have confirmed. You may save $10 by ordering from Asia but end up waiting 3 weeks for the order to come in the mail and maybe they'll fall apart after some use - or maybe they just won't be responsive in the first place.
You know there is no limit to how poor manufacturing standards can fall. Haven't you ever bought something that fell apart? The sticker read "Taiwan" and it was of such poor quality that it didn't hold up to nominal use? If not you are a young consumer and eventually will.
And I will second the other members : Happ is the industry standard for good reason, it's worth the extra bucks because on a cab the controls and screen are the most important parts - that's what your players will see and touch. I have Happ controls on my primary cabinet and every time I DON'T hear that "clickity clack" of the cheap microswitches I am happy.
But budget is always a factor, if budget does not allow for Happ
