| Sinner:
Why did they stop making leaf spring switches? It seems that there's a market for them and that most people prefer them. Why did they go away? |
| Jabba:
Doesn't Peale have them for sale? |
| Level42:
How many do you need ? I can get them in any number (reasonably) from Suzo... |
| RayB:
Good question... I'd guess the microswitch buttons ended up cheaper and simpler. If you look at the number of parts a microswitch button has: button, nut, switch = 3 Whereas the leaf switches have: button, nut, holder, spacer if needed, switch = 4 or 5. That's the other thing... the microswitch buttons are "universal". You can install them to metal or thick wood without hassle. For leafs, you need the correct holder or spacers. |

I got buttons from Wico and leaf switches and holders from centsible. I hate micros. They feel terrible and make too much noise. |
