Happ pushbuttons > X-Arcade pushbuttons

Hmm...I have X-Arcade buttons, and they don't feel any worse to me than the buttons on the arcade games we have at work.  They are quite a bit more "clicky" sounding, but that doesn't affect the feel.  The joysticks I'll admit aren't as good, but they are still eons better than anything else commonly sold to PC/console users.

While I personally agree, I know many who don't.  Sanwa and Seimitsu make fantastic sticks and buttons, but they really aren't some people's cup of tea.  They are different, but not necessarily "better".

X-Arcade (or more realistically, the cheap Chinese parts they buy in bulk for a few cents a pop and then mark up 1000%) vs Happ is an easy comparison.  These are the same style/design of stick and buttons, and the only difference is the quality of the part which jumps out and screams at you.

Happ vs Sanwa/Seimitsu is Apples vs Oranges.  They are both great parts, but designed for totally different audiences.  I'm a candy-whore and Japanophile, and I love my Sanwa.  I moved away from Happ some 3 years ago and never looked back.  But either way, I still sell Happ because I know so many people love them.

You're kidding, right?  Japanese is highly phonetic and based on syllable sounds.  It has to be one of the easiest languages in the world to read.

Seimitsu = "Say" "mit" "sue" (Sue -  as in the girl's name). 

It really is that simple.  Not like English, and all it's weird bloody pronounciation rules and exceptions.  You should hear my poor French mother struggle over things like "air conditioner" and "hair conditioner" with words like "honor" to guide her.


Zakk:

Yeah, I was kidding.  I don't like the jap sticks, but hey, everyone deserves to use whatever sticks they want.


Well, unless they are nintendo sticks, those are the sux0rs.

Anyone know how good Dream Arcades stuff is?  I just got a deal on their stuff on ebay  http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110024754733

These parts are for a kids cabinet I'm giving as a gift, so I'm on a strict budget and don't care too much if they're not as nice as happs, I'm just hoping they're at least nicer then X-Arcades.
