If you're ordering replacement switches and buttons maybe we can combine orders to save a few $ shipping and taxes. I'm also in Ottawa --- End quote --- Sure, sounds like a good plan to me. How about in the new year? I might be looking to get one or two of those Suzo's too. Where in Ottawa are you? I'm in Kanata... --- End quote --- Cool. I'm right downtown. I'll pm you early in the new year then. |

There is a definite difference using the switches supplied with the buttons by HAPP. --- End quote --- I might have some of them lying around, I'll give a try with the HAPP microswitches. |

I tend to agree with RandyT on a lot of things, and I respect his opinion, but I disagree about microswitches vs. leaf. My classic games have leaf switches, and I've never had an issue with any of them not working. I have micros on my MAME, and I am planning to switch them to leaf because of the feel. The feel of a micro vs. leaf is HUGE. My T&F cocktail has leafs and the buttons have a pretty long travel (as do some of my other classics), and help bounce your finger back. Pushing a micro button is not HARDER, but it doesn't give the same feedback and has a very short travel. Pushing a micro feels more like pushing on a hard surface that isn't a switch at all (no feedback and very little bounce). I have tried playing T&F on the micros and it plays horribly that way!

I feel those are even more like just pushing on a hard surface. I'm not sure those buttons have any springs at all. |
