Title: Tekken 5 pushbuttons
Post by: Onji on February 01, 2005, 10:51:36 pm: I'm probably late in the game but, i havent been to an arcade in a while (as all the REAL games are gone, and its all interactive stuff now) but i got to see the tekken 5 cabinet for the 1st time, it was awesome. The thing i really loved were the pushbuttons on that thing. I'm having trouble finding a decent pic of the cab, but does anyone know if those pushbuttons can be purchased anywhere?

(i'll keep looking for an example pic to show you guys)

The buttons are convex and are made by Sanwa which I can't find anywhere but you can order them from Happs or someone on eBay who sells Happs buttons, they're called competition pushbuttons.

They're pretty nice. What do you think of the joystick?

Yeah it's peculiar after hearing about the quality of a Sanwa stick
I might put using one off for a while til i can make a replicate of a Tekken 5 control panel for an arcade stick and use an American one

They are certainly jumpy and when we play they always come knocked loose or something

But if they are not very springy, that may turn me away. But i may get one to test it out.

In what way?

Post by: spiffyshoes on February 02, 2005, 03:15:09 pm: It seems odd that they would replace a complete joystick rather than just put a new microswitch on. If a microswitch is wearing out it probably just means that they are getting allot of use, but who am I to say I'm not there. I have to admit I don't use the regular microswitch ones at home. I like the P360 optical ones but they stoped making those since Happ bought P360.

Anyway I emailed Namco and they are Sanwa parts and I even got the part #s but I think they refer to Betson (do they sell to the public?)

The part numbers they gave you are probably sanwa part numbers.

check out the bonus (ok $50 extra) collector's edition stick coming with the Tekken 5 CE.

But yah those buttons are freakin awesome, so light and quick.. I gotta use them
