tranq:
I asked someone here in particular about this and got some great assistance and answers...and then I thought I might as well as about:

I like mouse buttons cos they have a very fast response with ultra low travel.  (Of course, the switches are pretty small.) I may end up having to modify some for use with push buttons, but if possible would like to find some push button-ready switches that might be like this.  Has anyone come across such a thing?

deadkenndys1105:
The microswitchs in your mouse are nearly identical to the one that your get with your buttons.  The button it self has a little more travel.  I guess you could put something in that small space but I dont know what you could use.

destructor:
Go for Sanwa or Seimitsu buttons.

If you really like fast response with ultra low travel, leaf switches are the only real opion.
You can adjust the leafs as you like them. Mine are just-not-touching in the rest position.

But I do think mouse microswitches feel quicker and lower travel than arcade button microswitches. The spring tension also seems to be lower. Maybe the Sanwa buttons with the built-in microswitches are like these ?

I still recommend leafs though :D

mouse switches are definitely 'softer' than sanwa micros, which are just normal microswitches. you could experiment with fitting mini microswitches in the sanwa housing, that would feel something like a mouse...
