"Leaf switch quiet" microswitches for Happ joystick?

(1/3) > >>

Organic Jerk:
Is there any type of Happ Joystick compatible microswitch that's REALLY quiet (to the point of being mute)?

After looking around, it seems like cherries are the quietest of the bunch as far as horizontal's are concerned..

I asked Ponyboy about his leaf switch "adapters" for pushbuttons awhile back, but they don't work with Joysticks...

Do I have any options if I plan to stick with a Happ Competition, or is it set in stone?

Crowquill:
I still wonder if there are different versions of the Cherry switches. The ones that were on my Primal Rage control panel's buttons are much quieter than the ones I have from my new buttons. All of my new ones and every other cherry switch I've seen has a red plastic bit that the button hits. The quieter switches I  have a clear or translucent plastic bit. It's definitely not "mute", but there is a noticible difference.

Is there a certain reason you want to stick with the Competition and not go for a P360 or leaf switch stick?

buy Korean joystick CLW304

Try turning up the game volume very high and you won't hear a thing.  ;D

I just took a quick break from writing an essay, and took apart a Cherry microswitch from one of my Super Sticks.

The good news is that you can probably modify these things to attenuate the sound (by how much is unknown).  Most of the noise isn't actually from the contacts coming together.

The bad news is that it looks like it's a real pain to do, and you run the risk of killing the switch completely.  I'll post pics later of what I found out later if needed.
