Are the xgaming x-arcade controls any good?

they have a deal on ebay for parts and i wanted to know if there sticks and buttons are good quality

BillyJack:

I ordered the 20 buttons and 2 sticks from them, but after shipping it turned out a little cheaper if I just bought the parts from their website (under Arcade Gear) so I did. I don't have them installed yet, but I like them a lot. The buttons are a bit shorter than Happ's buttons so routing the underside of your control panel may be necessary. Also, the when the switches are pressed they have a boingy sound to them unlike the Cherry switches... kind of a hollow sound instead of a clickety sound.

This has been asked alot.... I've used them before and are using them on my current project.

The joysticks are "clones" of happs supers. The buttons are shorter thread/length (I mounted them on 3/4" plywood just fine... if I had used lexan on top of that, i'd need to flip around the nuts to make it work)

The microswitches aren't cherry, but are functional... The buttons seem a little bit "thinner" plastic (that's what I attribute to BJ's clickier/hollower ness sound) compared to happs...

They come in any color you want, as long as it's black...

*shrug* at 50 cents a button and 5.00 beans a stick, consider it the k-mart/walmart brand compared to the "Tide" / "pepsi" of happs/IL/wico

YMMV (and i'll dig up one of the threads on this) EDIT linkage to older thread *shrug*
