Hey man thanks for the compliment!... I would love to do a write up, it would be really really neat!

My 2 cents.

I hear ya but I think maybe "waste" is a bit harsh... I mean if it were a x-in-1 or some other conversion... I'd agree with you.  Besides those two NOS buttons will see very little action... so they will be well cared for in my warm home... ;)

Well, then, since I don't need you to fix my stupid Joust sound board ...  ;)

Is it me or is that jump button unusually high up ? (Compare it to the P1/P2 buttons).

You are correct sir!  I had 2 orange buttons to choose from, one had bad coloring and that one, which the retainer clip slot was a bit off, causing the difference in height you see.

I opted for the cleaner colored one ;)

If it bothers you, you could shim the button down a tad.  A thin washer would work but may be slightly 'rattlely' or an o-ring would do the same without the rattle.
