Leaf spring switches...where'd they go?
erictrumpet:
I didn't realize leafs were so readily available. All my stuff is micros. I think I might prefer leafs. Do they require a lot more space under the CP? In other words, could I just swap out my micros or will it necessitate a total CP redesign? And does it feel weird to have leaf buttons but micro joys? Or would the leaf-people suggest going leafs on ALL controls?

Once you've tasted from the vine, there's no turning back... ;)
I would replace the joys with Wico Leafs at the same time. Gives the total experience.
Nothing better than being able to "control" the game without a digital 1 or 0 between you...
Redesign: I guess Depends how tightly you've placed your buttons. Leafs DO take up more real estate though...

Leaf switches are just as "digital" in nature as microswitches; they are either on or off. If you don't like digital, leaf switches are not the solution; an analog joystick is. Games designed for digital control tend to suck when played with an analog controller though; and vice versa.
Myself, I never cared for leaf switch buttons or joysticks. I like the feedback of a click and it irritates me if it isn't there.
