Title: X-Arcade Pushbuttons....crap?
Post by: axefreak on December 07, 2005, 08:07:00 am

Hello all,

I purchased X-Arcade pushbuttons and joysticks awhile back and I am wondering if there is a difference in quality between those and Happs?

Thanks,

Rick

They're OK but Happ buttons fitted with cherry microswitches are significantly better and still fairly cheap.

Why spoil the ship for a ha'porth of tar?

I don't know about the buttons, but I ordered some X-arcade joysticks, and I ended up using some cheap "Made in China" sticks instead.  I found the felt WAY nicer.  I knew the X-arcade ones were cheap, so I wasn't expecting any super quality, but I figured they would have been at least as good as the China ones I had.  I was wrong.
