Happ to stop using Cherry switches

Pages: << < (4/14) > >>

shatteredzman:

I got my order yesterday from RandyT and I got cherry switches, however I ordered some happ joysticks from another vendor that had e-switches. To be honest with you I cant really tell the difference. They both have the same color scheme and they play the same but the click sound is different although I did not find one more appealing than the other. With all the buttons/joysticks installed on the control panel I dont notice any difference between the two.

Seimitsu finished production PS14 GXN because "switch production is over". Sanwa still uses this switches on RG, they have not  problem with purchase switch (2years).
only reason is weak sale, or weak profit

now HAPP look only on price not on quality (China Competion (for You work identical like original), Chinese factories)
crisis xD

"Have you even seen one of the new ones yet to try them?"

no, I will not buy them

I have D41,D42, D44.
D41 and D43/D44 use CoinControl, and Wico
D42 use iL and SUZO, Ultimarc
D41/D42/D43 (all is similar) - have different movement, fell - after engagement they place resistance, it is matter of taste. I prefer KWJ in buttons, but I love D42 in Eurojoystick
D44 is very similar fell how KWJ but the point of activation is lower, for buttons KWJ is still more better, on stick it depends - on Wico Conical Joystick they do not work correctly, less diagonal than on KWJ, on other stick work OK and all is fine (iL-Eurojoystick, SUZO)

No.  These are a very different model internally.  Also, note the words "Electrical Life at Rated Load".  This is what I was referring to with "contact life".  There are no official ratings for simple mechanical life.

 While working in the arcade... bad micros were replaced regularly.  Most failures
were not contact related.   The internal spring loses its snappy quality eventually.
At times, the actuator has a some wear too...  but mostly, its the spring that fails.

 Its very conceivable that mechanical failure is tested and rated.  Not to say that
everyone does this... but its actually something that is a requirement on something
like say.... the military would in fact ask for before ordering Any of such switches.
