And I suppose that you like Nintendo sticks as well ...

Just curious, why are they higher performance if they are convex?  I always likened it to PC keyboards.  Some of them have slightly concave keys and some are convex.  Neither really seems to make much difference (to me anyway).
Kajoq:
Because most of the Convex buttons are japanese buttons.  They have nicer microswitches, less travel, and are more responsive in general

<3 Sanwa buttons.

Button shape != switch responsiveness

Although the point is taken ... FWIW, there are folks who like to tune their leaf switches for maximum responsiveness, which is not possible for most folks with microswitches.
Kajoq:
In general concave buttons are significantly longer travel than convex, which does inherently mean less responsive.

Right now i've got 4 sanwa buttons and 2 concave happ buttons on p2 of my cabinet.

LP and LK suck compared to the other 4.
