And just who do you think you are asking a reasonable, appropriate question on this thread?  The nerve of some people.

Those joysticks indeed contain the same "leaf" switches yes.

Patrick, do you work for a psychic hot-line or something?  You presume to know everything about everything, including the motivation and mind sets of others, yet you are very often  incorrect.  The manufacturers product sheet I used for reference when placing my orders states quite simply "Snap Action Switches", which is the actual technical term for this and all "microswitches."  The part you are referring to as a "lever", is referred to by the manufacturer quite simply as a "moving blade"  The word lever is not mentioned once in the documentation.

And this should really get your knickers in a knot.  Guess what this obviously "skilled in the art" individual is calling what you call a "leaf-switch".  That's correct, a "blade switch"  :cheers:


--- Quote ---How many people read the title and assumed it was actually about micro leaf switches (as in small leaf switches)? ie a small version of a Leafswitch + Bracket that Ponyboy sells.

I guess that's where the issue lies.  You assumed rather than read.  I would appreciate it greatly if you would stop trying to make that my problem.

And as I said before.  Those too are just "switches bolted to a piece of plastic", and my customers told me that they are no longer available and wanted alternatives.  So your problem seems to extend to something deeper that you are not discussing.

Micro-Leaf™ <> Leaf-Switch.  Different words mean different things.  Please accept this as fact, not because I say so, but because it is so.

OK So I got mine today.  I now have a Cherry micro, a Ponyboy leaf switch adapters, and a Micro-leaf in my cp all next to each other.  The micro-leaf is barely audible underneath my 3/4 inch CP.  It a tiny, tiny bit louder than a leaf switch, but much quieter than the Cherry micro.

I haven't played with them yet, I'll do that tonight and report back.  Pressing it definitely feels more leaf-like than micro-like.  So far I am defending Randy's name,  I think people should really try these before hyperventilating about it.
