I know its a heated subject the whole micro vs leaf and dont want to kick that up again.
Especially as these are sort of a hybrid.

Is it really even a debate? I thought it was pretty common knowledge that microswitch buttons work better in games like modern fighters that require you to press multiple buttons at once or do timed button sequences. While leaf buttons are better for pretty much everything else.
The real question is, why the hell does anybody use ultralux style buttons? Those things are complete garbage.
Titch, these are my favorites. I get these with the True Leaf option:

Otherwise, its Happ/IL concave microswitches.
On my cocktail cabinet, I have a 4-way leaf Pac-Pro joystick and two of these buttons per player. It's as close to original perfection as you're ever going to get.Titch, these are my favorites. I get these with the True Leaf option:

Yup 100% agree. I use these (GGG True Leaf), and am VERY happy with the performance, fit and feel of these buttons.
If only there were an RGB variant of the ClassXYou mean like the Electric ICE 2 (http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=73&products_id=238)?
We don't carry the IL buttons. These are better (but I'm admittedly biased, since I designed them ;))(http://www.groovygamegear.com/Store_Images/NG2_GREENL.jpg)
We have stock in Red, Blue, Green, Clear, Yellow, Orange and Violet. They are now standard with the Helio9 RGB lighting units, which provide the high-output and ability to tweak the color (especially useful for the colors where high output LED's don't exist to match.) This also allows for limited color changing capabilities, which have a range that most probably wouldn't expect for a colored button. Diffusers are included.
Special order for now. Switch options and cost are the same as the Electric ICE 2 with the Helio9 lighting option. Can be ordered by adding a note in the comments section at checkout until I can find a break in the activity to get them on the store (hopefully over the holidays)

Yeah, my first Mame cab really evolved over time. But I'm at the point now where I know what I like and don't give ordering a second thought. I'm not kidding when I say I've tried them all.
Just wondering what peoples experiences are with these?

At the mo I have ultra lux buttons with cherry switches which are ok but I feel they could be better so ime thinking of changing the switches.
So has anyone tried these with ultra luxes and how did they perform?
Also does anyone know of a UK stockist?
Cheers chaps.
Thank you for getting where I'm coming from. :cheers:Yeah, my first Mame cab really evolved over time. But I'm at the point now where I know what I like and don't give ordering a second thought. I'm not kidding when I say I've tried them all.
It drives me crazy when I see all those cheapo buttons and sticks being sold on Ebay. You spend all that time/effort and pride building a cab, don't cheap out on the hardware! Do you really want to be replacing and troubleshooting when all that cheap stuff breaks down?
Luckily reading the forums here steered me the right way to my components, and am I ever glad that it did. So thank you to contributors like Yotsuya.
