Truer words were ne'er spoken.  Micros suck bad for constant button pressing.  Although I think they serve a purpose.  I kinda think the clickety sound works when pressing coin, start, or especially a mouse button, but after that, the noise is just that.  Noise.

Kneivel's method rocks.  I used it as well and it looks so great.

Mmm, yeah, this actualy became a very well known word in computing: You CLICK on this or that icon....

The microswitches' click is actualy responsible for this  :-\

How about a mouse with leafs !!!! My bet is that a LOT of people would have had a lot less damage from RSI if mouses would have had leafs......

But then....we would't have a word instead of "CLICK"....

Hyper, how did the stuff I sent you end up ? Pix ? (PM please !)

pls exkuze da newb:  ready to start thinkn bout building a cab, gunna start with a CP, love the lit buttons.  Reading all kinds of stuff bout leafs vs micro's.  My machine will not be sitting in some public arcade, being pounded on by rabid 12-year olds.  Leafs ok?   Less noise, nice feel, worth the money?  Am thinking to order parts listed earlier, from wico, if they still around (website looking like it hasn't been updated in a long time).

Thinking of a 4 player, which also raises questions of button colours, but mebbe thats for another thread.

Much thanks in advance

Well, I'm a leaf man all the way, so don't ask me  :laugh:

Simply put: my opinion is that leafs are worth the money, "trouble" (what trouble ?),space etc. If you do some searching here you will find plenty of threads that are discussing leafs versus microswitches.

Kremmit:
Wico is dead and buried.  You'll have to find another vendor.
