Happ/FX Clear Buttons, RGB-Drive, and Ponyboy's Leaf Switch Brackets. Success!

Thanks Santoro for getting this resolved :applaud:. Not that any of the vendors this involved shouldn't have jumped on this a while back. This was a major reason I jumped ship and went with real leaf switches. Thanks again and you should get some commision. ;D

Yep! Thanks, I plan to order some regardless, but I was curious. Thats very good news, its a big reason to go with leafs...no clicks is nice but adjusting them to a very short throw is what makes them perform better.

Yeah, that's why I tested them. I remembered reading about the adjustments and gave it a shot.
There is a white plastic piece above and below the respective leafs, so it isn't the easiest thing in the world, but all you need to do is get your fingernail in there and they bend ok. I was definitely able to vary the distance between the contacts, so it should be easy to do for everyone else
Santoro:
Whammoed - they are 'sandwiched' between the button and the bracket. To be safe I might secure it with a drop of hot-glue, or even better, try a few different drill bits until I get a button hole that fits the LED snugly.
Drew, I think a Dremel with a sanding or cutting attachment would work well. I actually didn't think of my Dremel for this. I will try it out this weekend.

As I was reading your excellent write-up, the first thing that came to mind was DREMEL.....sweet..I'm definately going this route. I'm so glad I'm a lazy bastard and haven't built a single thing yet, letting less slack-fu persons such as you blaze the trail :applaud: :notworthy:
