Do you think its harder because of those plastic "leafs" around the switch or because the leaf switch is shorter...or both?
Did you try removing the buttons spring to lighten the feel?

Interesting, bossyman. I felt like it was the spring in the micro that was causing the difference in the feel. But I haven't pulled the spring out to test that theory.
Perhaps clipping the top piece of plastic would help (although you might then have to tweak the leafs up closer to the button 'activation point') But yeah, the microswitch-buttons don't have the loose feel of the real leaf-buttons. And I do think the 'height' of the plunger plays a part in that as well. I use a more pronounced "smash" when I hit my leafs.
