X-ARCADE BUTTONS VS. SOMETHING FROM HAPP...
GroovyTuesdaY:
I noticed on ebay that X-ARCADE sells 20 buttons for 9.99 in kit form. Does anyone have any experience with the buttons that X-ARCADE sells as opposed to something HAPP sells, like the ULTIMATE PUSHBUTTON or something.
I didnt think 10.00 for 20 buttons looked to bad, but i dont want to get something then find out they suck.
Whats the word on the street........??? :o

I like the x-gaming stuff, it is good. Not everyone likes it like me, but I have never heard anyone say anything eally bad about them.
The buttons and joys are really really tinny (tin sounding, not small)

X-Arcade buttons have a threaded portion that is 1 inch in length. The same horiz button from Happs has a threaded portion that is 1 1/8 inch. This can make a difference if you are planning to add plexi or lucite over your CP. The x-Arcade buttons are good for 3/4 inch which would be 5/8 plus 1/8 plexi. With the Happs button you can use the 1/8 plexi over a 3/4 CP.
Switches are X-Gaming brand on the X-Arcade buttons.
Overall they work fine for me.

they are great except they suck if you have a panel thats 3/4 wood and a plexi glass(buttons too short) but other then that they work great !(IMHO). :)

I had the same problem, I tried to put the X- buttons in my cab and the threads were not long enough. I found that if I filipped the nut around, I cound get somewhat of a bite. Be warned that the joysticks are extra short. don't even think about puting them in a control panel unless the wood is 1/2" thick MAX.
