Title: NovaGem Pushbuttons - one color or two?
Post by: Racer_X on March 05, 2007, 11:08:34 am

As I'm ordering my equipment, I'd appreciate the opinions of this board on what color Novagems to purchase.  Most of the LED buttons I've seen on CPs seem to be one color for the whole panel.  What do you all think about red buttons for P2 and blue buttons for P1 as opposed to all blue?

Also, what are the advantages of the cherry microswitches versus the zippy?

Thanks!

If you can get a joystick that matches go with the two color CP  I think they look better than the all one color option.  Randy just added some Colored Happ Competitions and Supers to his site over the weekend.

For 20 cents more go for the cherry as they are the premium standard in microswitches.

I have red and blue Novagems on my CP and think they look great.

This is what I ordered, though I havent wired them up yet.  Hopefully will do so today and post pictures.
