Leaf style Pushbuttons and their differences

I'm sure it's a fine button, but it's not a true leaf switch design (regardless of what the advertising might indicate). No adjustability whatsoever, and a contact size that's a tiny fraction of that of true leaf switches. They are essentially a Japanese style button, with a concave plunger. The design of this type of switch is quiet, and eliminates the hysteresis of a snap switch , but doesn't offer the sought after function of an actual leaf switch for some playing styles. True leaf switches can also last for decades of heavy use, needing only an occasional contact cleaning, so if longevity, adjustability, and the inherent controllable "bounce" function are of importance to you, there's no substitute for the real thing.
MTPR:
Feels good to me! Highly recommended!
Scorpie:
Are these leaf switches compatible with Andy`s Ultralux buttons? Any specifics one should look for to see if they are compatible ?
MTPR:
The Leafswitch champs from arcadeshop.de work with ultralux buttons. They feel better with something like happ classic buttons though in my opinion.

What do you mean by compatible?
The connectors (tags?) are of a different size, so maybe not 100% compatible in that respect.
