| Buttons & Sticks - is this a good deal? |

| RedSquirrel:
Been looking through ebay and found this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3232985255&category=13718 Its the x-gaming buttons and joysticks. What are the quality of these like? Do the buttons fit 3/4 MDF? And what are the joysticks like? Just wondering as this would cost half of what my other place would charge. The only thing that worries me is you have to assemble the buttons yourself. Normally they come fully made right? |

The buttons have a cheap clicky feel to them and I used them with 3/4" mdf and if was not for my push button wrench I would be screwed because 3/4" wood is just about too thick for the buttons. As for the sticks they are close copys to happ supers but made out of lighter plastic. |

They're Happ clones from what I understand. They're probably worth the $20, but they won't be as nice the real Happs. Of course the real Happs will also be twice as much. I'd probably buy these for a Playstation controller or something, but I think I'd prefer the real deal for a cabinet. (personal preference) |
| AlanS17:
They say you can make the buttons fit in 3/4" MDF if you turn the screw upside down and use it that way. |

I bought these and they seem to be pretty good. The buttons are as fully assembled as they can be, you can't put on the microswitch, or screw on the nut until the button is mounted. They work fine with 3/4 MDF. I only have these for now, so I can't compare quality with other buttons or sticks. I have read on this board that they are almost identical to Happs. The only thing I don't like are the switches. They are loud, and the pitch of the click is different on each one. Again, I haven't tried others, so this may be the case with Happs too. Overall, I'm glad I bought them. I will buy others in the future to find the ones I like best. For now, these work great, and the price is good. Shipping was fast too, 3 days to West Coast. Paul |
