Problem with buttons from Happ.

That normal for microswitch buttons from Happ? Seemed pretty stupid.

The .187 connector is the standard size in the context of arcade controls. HAPP would not be selling them with that connector if they weren't ready to plug into real arcade equipment. You can specify .250 when you order, but those are the exception, which is why you need to ask for them in that size.
The .187 connectors may not be real common at the ":Home Depot", but neither are joysticks or microswitches. When used with the appropriate connectors, you just plug them in and they work as well as any other size.

I'll just echo what Randy said. The .187 is the norm at least according to Happ, and most of the "real" arcade industry (in the US at least). .250 is just another option and doesn't really make any difference in use except for having to crimp it a bit.
So yeah, it's normal as far as there ARE 2 sizes of connectors. I guess Ultimarc just defaults to .250 instead of .187. .250 may be more popular in Europe???
