Yes.
tranq:
Thank you, all, so far.
DeadK: yeah, I thought they were technically the same, so it must be their size - cos I thought of inserting a piece of something in-between, but the standard HAPP button is butt-up against the switch trigger - hence it's a matter of the switch design.
Level42: I don't like the idea of leaves for a few reasons.
WAIT. I could make an optical button that would have like NO fu&*#% travel and the mother would NEVER WEAR OUT. Not only that, but the switches could then be much much smaller. I'm not implying I'm clever or anything, just that I have good ideas.
In the mean time, I'll look into the Sanwa. Also, I contacted Cherry and they said check out their DB series. Anyone on that?
deadkenndys1105:
I have buttons from ultimarc and there is some space. On the happ button is it just resting on it or is the button tight on the switch. I would say get some leafs if you can. I love my millipede with the orginal leaf switch. The atari volcanoes have microswitchs but didn't they always?

Happ used to stock optical buttons. I have 6 or so lying around and don't like the feel at all.
Cheers

Well the battle between leaf and ms will never end. It's personal taste really. But you asked for ultra short travel and very fast response. Both are better on leafs.
And don't believe the talk about maintenance. Yes, arcade operators may have had to fiddle with them, in a home situation, you won't have much problems. My Galaxian still has the orignal leafs...they still work fine after 26 years......my Atari (2600,800,XE) compatible Suzo Competition Pro has leafs, still works without any problem or adjusting after 24 years...

Not a new idea however. Possible but feels like %*(^&. The spring in the pushbuttons is calculated to push away either a MS or a leaf. Also, remember you're adding two wires for powering the LED for each button.
