For those who have Electric Ice Buttons...

Visitor Q:

--- Quote from: headkaze on October 09, 2008, 01:00:38 am ---About half of my electric ice buttons have the vibration issue and I really don't like the feel of them compared to my old happs ones. Plus they are very expensive, but AFAIK the only buttons you can use with the LEDWiz and RGB modules. I'm not sure if I got a bad batch or what, but I am dissapointed with them. If your picky about your buttons I would probably give them a miss.

One thing I would recommend though is to get yourself a "button wrench" along with your order as it really sucks not having one.

Those Nova buttons are about twice as much!

I am not the one building my CP, well I am but only on paper.

I would really like to place an order so if this is not possible, please just say so.

I think the ice buttons are great and when they light up.....OH MY!  The material the Happs are made of just feel...I don't know...thicker? Almost to the point where if there were a twang from the spring it would be muffled. When it comes to game play though I don't find a bit of difference. You definitely get the occasional twang sound with the EI's when smashing buttons during a heated Track and Field bout, but it really doesn't bother me one bit.  Did I mention when they light up....OH MY!!?

Jack Burton:
you know, about the twang.  I switched the buttons in my cab from competition buttons to IL horizontal buttons and the very first thing I noticed is that I could hear the spings inside when I hit them.  So I think this is a factor of the orignal IL buttons and not limited to the Novagems. 

After I started playing however, I completely forgot about the noise. 

When you guys are talking about regular Happ buttons, which ones exactly are you talking about?  The older ones with the taller plunger and vertical switch position?  Or the ones that are horizontal and the threads on the buttons arent' as long as the IL ones?   
DeLuSioNal29:
Mine do feel different compared to the normal Happ  pushbuttons on my panel.  However, I only use them as coin buttons, so they don't get as much use as the normal buttons.

However, now that I have coin doors, I plan to remove them and recycle them on my next project.  So I'd be able to tell you then how they feel in gameplay.  But that won't happen for a while.

But I do notice a slight twang.  A small tradeoff for the beautiful look of them when they are lit.

You can see how they look both "lit" and "unlit" on my panel here:
