Personally I love the idea of being able to drop in replacement switches to give me a more sensitive leaf-like action without having to redesign my panel for leaf holders or create adaptors for microswitches with actuators. My order is in! If you don't like them, think leafs are better, think you are such a hardcore player that one million cycles isn't enough for you, I have a groundbreaking solution: DON'T BUY THEM. Randy, I'm glad you're putting these things out for the rest of us! |

I myslef am a professional Japanese shmups player much like most of the rest of this board and I WILL NOT invest $2.75 on a switch that will only last me 90 days. Good day to you, sir. ;) --- End quote --- pwnt :laugh2: |

Just wanted to say that I didn't mean to criticize the Micro-Leaf with my last post with that old Galaxian leaf (and yes that is the one for the fire button :D). I just find it's funny that leaf switches never come with a "10.000.000" cycle mention.... I agree with Randy about those numbers. Even if you do run them out (I've never run out a microswitch on any other device, like computer mice) but even if you do.......that couple of bucks that it cost shouldn't be something to get annoyed over.... there are also other (more important) specs on microswitches like spring tension, sound etc. I think the Micro-Leaf is offering another great option for us to select. In some situations I will definitely like to use them. Would be great f.i. on Nintendo joysticks (hope they'll fit). Or in situations where space is tight. I personally always try to steer away from regular microswtiches as I hate them. This is great as an alternative where normal leafs can't be (easily) used. I mentioned it jokingly before, but would it be possible to get Ultra-micro-leaf switches that fit inside the Star Wars yoke handle ? |

Why are so many people idiots?? I guess everyone that is criticizing these switches don't like to have a choice in anything. Nice job randy, keep up the great work. |
