hmmm, ok, then what are the buttons that only make contact for a moment called? I thought the buttons you you push and have continuous contact are are pushbuttons. |

Those are called "For the Moment that can last a Lifetime" buttons....... Lets not argue Symantics ;) |

Never even heard of the type of switch you're talking about, though it sounds sort of similar to a MBB switch, if your result requires shorting of two circuits. For a good quick explanation of a few pieces of switch terminology, go to this url: http://www.dacelectronics.com.au/pdf/ghpushb.pdf and scroll down. Google is your almighty friend. Can you give an example of what you would use the type of switch you described for? |

I'm using mame's internal source MACRO name. *shrug* Cherry doesn't have "impulse", but its def of momentary is what everyone else is saying. --- Quote ---I thought the buttons you you push and have continuous contact are are pushbuttons. --- End quote --- Pushbutton switches just means you push a button, instead of throw a switch. You can have "momentary" pushbuttons, and (I think) "impulse" pushbuttons, and pushbuttons without a switch but a place to put one, like the arcade buttons. |
