Does anyone know where I can get new nintendo replacements buttons for Donkey Kong. I need 2 blues and 1 orange, not having much luck finding replacements.
Thanks

I got a dumb question - are Nintendo buttons different than the HAPP buttons?

I seem to remember them having a lot more travel.

They are about 1/16" smaller than standard buttons like Happ sells. That means that if you have a Nintendo CP, standard buttons will be too large to fit in the button holes without modifications to either the buttons or CP.

They do seem to have more travel, but it is adjustable to a point. Nintendo buttons are kind of like leaf switch buttons (i.e., they have a separate bracket underneath for holding the switch) except they use lever-actuator microswitches. The microswitch can be adjusted closer or farther away from the bottom of the button to change the amount of button travel before engagement.

I wonder why Maxim didn't berate the OP for not just "restoring to a working state" the original buttons.  Surely they're not broken.  ;)
