Title: How are these buttons??
Post by: AE35 on March 01, 2006, 07:21:35 am

Hi all.

My wife thinks that pink buttons are hellacool, and wants them on the next
cabinet. I'm not an expert on buttons, but I've tried two different kinds: one kind
that costs 1 pound each on ebay(arcade depot, great seller) and another kind
from the same seller that costs 1.5pound each. The former seemed a little cheap,
the latter were very good! I think these are Happ Comps.

Now, I've seen these pink ones:

But how are they? are they like these:

Thanks for your time.

The thing with Arcade Depot is that they do sell HAPP buttons which are very nice (I have some from Arcade Depot) but the microswitches are really loud from them.  I'm not sure if they use cheaper ones or something but they do make a racket.

But I'm one of those people that like noisy microswitches (from the old amiga days) so the noise doesn't bother me.
