| Problem with buttons from Happ. |
| (1/2) > >> |
| Gambit:
My first order of buttons was from Ultimarc (in the UK), and all the buttons and joysticks I received were perfect. Then I decided on a design change and needed one more button, and since I had other things to order from Happ (in the US), I decided just to get the button from them when I ordered the rest. The microswitch included with the button had connectors that were not a standard size, they were much too small. In order for the female connector to stay on I had to crimp it to the microswitch. That normal for microswitch buttons from Happ? Seemed pretty stupid. |

You can order microswitches with different connector size. And remember that Ultimarc pushbuttons are shorters and more solid than Happ. |

For me, all I had to do was crimp the quick disconnect down a tad with needlenose and then it will fit snugly. This isn't as easy with the insulated quick disconnects, but still possible. I didn't use insulated on anything other than my 12v and 5v connections for LEDs and a Perfect 360 stick. |

We aren't talking titanium here, and all that is needed is the slightest of presses. |

Since most US arcades came with 3/16", happs defaults to that size. Looks like Ultimarcs defaults to the 1/4". FWI, it's easier to find 1/4" connectors at the hardware stores, but 3/16" are just as common as 1/4" at electronics stores around here. |
