I also found them a bit hard to press, not as loose as the original leafs on my 720 and so I clipped the top piece of plastic and it feels great.  Instead of bending the contacts up to meet the button actuator, I just glued the clipped piece onto the top actuator. 

This probably doesn't make sense unless I post a picture or you have one of the leafswitches in hand.

Cheers,
KenToad

Check out the Retroblast review!!!
Ponyboy

Good review, but... Kevin James, why chop off original parts?!?! All you needed were two pushbuttons. Bob sells them. Why go buy the microswitch style?!?!?

*sigh*

The Retroblast review was done by James and he didn't modify the leaf brackets at all.  He mentioned that he already had the translucent microswitch buttons on hand, though.

What you are looking at is a leafswitch that fits in a bracket that takes the same space as a micro switch in any Horizontal Button.

AVAILABLE NOW!!!!

ponyboy has a 'sticky' in the B/S/T forum.  There are instructions in there on how to order these, and other things, from him.   The gist of it is: (1) PM him with what you want (2) get a price quote back (3) send him PayPal (4) receive your items.

That would be $4.32 per... and you're going to want at least 12 for a 2 player panel for a total cost of about $52.00.

I am wondering if these would fit our Ultralux buttons: http://www.ultimarc.com/ultralux.php?to=11goto=1
If so, can we be a reseller?

I just tried to put one on an Ultralux button and the two tabs at the end near the leaf switch contacts prevent it from going all the way down.  :(

What's the word on these things ponyboy?

I'm thinking about get a set of them for my Pop'N Music controller.  Does anyone happen to know if they will work in a JUMBO DOME button from HAPP?
If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen
