SeverdHed's Donkey Kong project...OFFICIALLY DEAD
severdhed:
thanks..i just wish there was something to follow at this point..my plans have pretty much been derailed at this point.
as for the sanwa buttons...they are just so dramatically different from happ buttons.
first, they are convex instead of concave, so they feel very different under your fingers.
second, they dont use standard microswitches, the switch is pretty much built into the button and doesn't appear to be replaceable...and the switch itself is very quiet.
third, the have a much softer feel and a shorter throw distance...this makes them very fast, but if you rest your fingers on them to hard, they will activate
fourth, the colors are very different from happ buttons, so mixing and matching doesnt work too well
severdhed:
well, this project has come to an end. i had to do some re evaluating and decided that having this cabinet is just not the best thing for me and my family at this point in time. it takes up too much space in my family room and i just need to cut my losses before i get any further into this project. i created a thread in the Buy/Sell/Trade forum....

if anyone is interested, let me know.
hopefully someone can pick up where i left off and bring some glory back to this classic.
