They are smaller.
The outer diameter of the cone is 1/2", compared to the 7/8" on the Xeno buttons.
I'm guessing they take about a 3/8" mounting hole, give or take.
I didn't want to take mine apart, and measure it.
Here's a picture of one of mine mounted.

I don't have a Happ's to compare them too.
I've got one DOT one, and several used/NOS Xeno ones.
They wouldn't work well for a rapid fire situation, but I never liked the cone buttons for that either.
Missle Command in particular annoyed me because you couldn't fire as fast as you could on Asteroids, etc... with good leafswitches.
Kremmit:
Those RS buttons look like the same ones RayB put on his topfire sticks.

OK, if anyone wants to order with the Radio Shack buttons, just add $2.50 per button.
BTW, the site says they mount in a 1/2" hole, which is larger than the holes in the Happ plates, so they should work in either pre-punched or blank plates with a little drilling.

Hey, just got the word that Happs 49-ways are on sale for $24.99 from now until the end of May!
