| Are your Ultralux Pushbuttons Stiff? |
| (1/2) > >> |
| Neverending Project:
I just got my Ultimarc Ultralux pushbuttons in, and got some of them all hooked up. They look beautiful, and they are exactly the look I wanted. But they feel very stiff. In fact, so stiff that it is difficult to press them rapidly in normal gameplay. The only thing I have to compare are what I presume to be standard Happ concave pushbuttons, that were on the original CP that I am replacing. Does anyone out there use the Ultralux? Are yours stiff too? Is it the spring, the microswitch, or something else? I would consider replacing the microswitch with something like the GGG Micro-Leaf (someone posted that they do in fact fit), but I want to know if that will help things first. Does anyone have any suggestions? |

I have some but I don't recall them being as hard to press as yours. That said, I have not actually used them in gameplay yet! What type of microswitches do you have? It could just be that. I remember some Honeywell switches I used to have for example, were much stiffer than Cherry switches. Try the microswitches from your Happ buttons. |

Honeywell FTW! (I work there, lol) |

Andy (Ultimarc) used to supply Honeywell switches with some buttons...not sure if he still does. I like them, harder than some to press down but they have a good positive feel IIRC. |
