DK used microswitches for both the joystick and the buttons, on both the upright and cocktail versions (cocktails used a slightly smaller ball on the joystick and almost flush mounted buttons)

Guess you got confused by the pics I put up there of my MB CP.

I take the liberty to improve a game as I see fit. First of all, I hate microswitches. They suck. Second, I'm not doing the game any harm, it can always be reversed.Third: you don't SEE it do you ? You FEEL it though ! :D

I've made the button and trackball lit in red on my Centipede. Original ? No. Looking awesome ? Yes !
Think I did it in the most tasteful possible way (unlit, they're both white).

Another example: my Meteor has unbelievably heavy-going microswitches. You can bet your last penny on it that I will replace them with leafs. If that makes the gameplay so much better for me, that's the way I go.


By the way, what's up with the side of that Centipede in that GAY video ? (That Mr. Rodgers approaches kids just like they _don't_ want to.....geez....)

Are those sticks that good? Cause to me, the stock DK stick is perfect for that application. Just loose enough, but not too loose. Normally I don't like microswitch sticks, but they're not noticable on the Nintendo sticks.

The sanwa  JLF sticks are really close to Nintendo sticks in the way they feel.
I bought the JLF-TP-8T,so I didn't have to wire each ground separately for each switch.
You could always get Mikes Arcade's repo stick.but it is a bit more expensive,$54.00 vs $24.95
