It's official.

I installed my new pushbuttons in my MAME cab and tried it out. The difference between the X-Arcade buttons and the Happs are like night and day. In a thread from last week, I said that the X-Arcade pushbuttons were "OK". Man, am I stupid.  :banghead:

Now I *must* replace my X-Arcade joysticks. The last human family is depending on me.  ;D

If it makes you feel any better, I agree with you.

To save us time (my friend and I built 2 cabs at the same time) we installed X-Arcade 2-player CPs in them.  As part of our design we piggy backed the flipper buttons and installed Happs buttons on the side of the cabinet as well.  I ordered a couple extras at the time and ended up replacing a couple of the X-Arcade buttons with them, on the CP.  You can really tell the difference, they even sound better.  I don't know how the Joysticks are, but I'd imagine similar improvements.

My future project is to build a custom CP and I'm already knowing what buttons I'll be using.

Zakk:
X-arcade parts are NOT good substitutes for happ supers and happ pushbuttons, even though they look quite similar.

X-arcade using cherry microswitches would go a LOOOOOONG way to improve their product, but I'm sure they will stick with their "made in a sweatshop cave in indonesia for $.02 each" switches.

Xarcade sells button sets on ebay for $20.00, 2 joysticks & 14 buttons, that is way below what I pay for wholesale happ buttons & sticks, it all goes back to you get what you pay for
