While the attract modes look great and lighting the buttons with the real colors is cool, it's a shame the buttons don't feel as good. --- End quote --- I've mentioned this in the past, but I guess the word isn't propagating too well. The EI buttons are actually made of a more durable material than a standard pushbutton. The external feel of the button is identical to standard pushbuttons (exact same shape), but the difference is in the interaction of the spring. The EI buttons use a harder material that is a little more resonant than the nylon that is normally used. That means that the spring vibration is a bit more audible. If this bothers you, there is a very simple fix. You need only to take the springs out of the buttons and stretch them enough to add about 1/8" to their uncompressed lengths. This will ensure that the contact between the button and the spring is stronger at all times and should reduce any spring vibration pretty much to nil. RandyT |
