As the topic states.... I'd like to get some pro's and cons on the microswitches and the Wico leaf buttons ..... I'd like to find out what is the better way to go and lest complicated to put together/build.... Thanks much .. |

Microswitch buttons are definately less complicated. You get one size and they fit metal and wood panels. No adjustments necessary during operation. Bit clicky action and sound. Leaf buttons are harder to get the holder for and must be matched to your panel eg long or short buttons. Adjustments to leafs is required as maintenance. Some love the smooth action and some find it tiring as it can be set for too much movement. The tabs on the leaf switches are very easy to break if you flex them. |

cherry switches are easy to come by and are less expensive, my only con with that is they are considerably noisier then leaf switches, but I still prefer cherries |
| d00dness:
Thanks for the replies so far....... What I'd like to do is get to a classic arcade as possible........... what about you guys who've had the leaf style for quit sometime? Have you run into any problems? Same goes for the microswitch guys... Tks again.. |
| ArtMAME:
If you are looking for classic arcade feel and authenticity, go with the leaf switches... they are harder to install, but they feel great. |
