Man I can hardly wait!

steptoe:

They look good, but, can someone please explain the difference between using a micro and one of these.  Excuse my ingorance, (and spelling maybe) Thanks

Santoro:

Depending on who you ask, most would say microswitches click way too much.

Pixelhugger:

As has been said... search for microswitch and leaf. You'll learn a ton.  ;)

I had built 2 control panels before stumbling across the differences and I'll never go back. I always wondered why the Happ (joysticks) didn't feel like I remembered games from the 80's.

Essentially it comes down to two things.... noise and resistance. The microswitch noise I can live with, but the FEEL is completely different. With a leaf switch you don't feel the actuation. Sounds like a subtle difference but it is very noticeable.

RayB:

Thank you Measurement man.
