Happ Pushbuttons... anything better out there...?

I realize this might be blasphemy but I got some Happ pushbuttons (real, legit ones) but I'm wondering if there's anything else better out there, with a microswitch?  I didn't realize how "cheap" they seemed, like, hollow and 'plasticky', without much 'pop' to them like the good ol' days... honestly, they don't seem any different than X-Arcade ones.  I wanted to stay away from leaf switches but I hear these are the real deal, original buttons, maybe I'll have to try those.

In the meantime, is there anything more 'beefy', like, something with more pop to them?  These Happ springs seem way too loose or something, they almost echo, if that makes sense.  How are Ultimarc's and GrooveyGameGear's in comparison...?  Do they feel more 'legit'?

Ginsu Victim:

Want pop? Use leafs.
I'm not even going to get into the rest of what you said ("blasphemy" is correct).

RoninEditor:

LOL, okay, okay... just making sure I have the best microswitch buttons out there  ;)

I'm not sure I understand what you guys mean by "pop".  I thought he meant the snap or click when the switch engages.  But that's exactly what you don't get with a leaf switch.  No click.

The strongest click I've seen yet is from Zippy microswitches.  They are stronger than Cherry.  To me they are annoyingly stiff and loud, but I'm sure some people like them just that way.

The weakest is from the GGG Micro-Leaf switch.  They have a soft spring and barely detectable click.

What happened to the leaf switch replacement for micro switches. Did people not like them?
