(1/2) > >>

Hi.

i got 3 sets of microswitches, can you advise me wich ones I should use into my control panel (cabinet : Midway Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3) please?  ???

The main difference is the amperage (15A or 3A). I don't understant why...



adder:
because they are only being used on an arcade cab (low volts) the amps rating does not matter in this case, so you can use any.

and which should you pick. everyone has different tastes but personally my favorite microswitches must be:

1. quiet in operation (i dont like loud clicks, especially when playing at night time :lol
2. not too much resistance.. (i dont like it when the switch is too firm to press. i prefer them light

so.... im guessing the white E-SWITCH is probably the best :)

Thank you very much for this useful answer.  :applaud:

Those black microswitches are from the 90's, and pretty decent. I have a handful at home.

The E-Switch is the replacement for the Cherry switch everybody raved about. Those are also really nice.

The others are junk.

Thank you ;-)

ps : the black one is the rear-side of the yellow microswitch
