That's disappointing.  We'll have to try harder to make things confusing so this forum will still have a purpose (other than debating whether broken Nintendo joysticks are really broken).  :laugh2:

It's okay, I'll just ask questions about how to top mount a joystick and trackball with routing instructions.

Oh, come on.. can't you ask us what's the "best" joystick, or where to download a complete set of romz in one huge .zip file or something?  Don't you need to know where to put the "O" and "K" buttons?

Worst.. n00b.. Ever.

Hey I have a pristine Ms Pacman cabinet and a Galaga cabinet and I'm going to gut them and MAME them and then sell them with the MAME and ROMS.  What do you think?

metahacker:
well, i got these switches.

they're much better than all the standard microswitch buttons.

they're the perfect compromise between a leaf and a typical microswitch.

the leaf is a great unit for the purist.  it requires extra effort to acquire and 'tune.' 
the typical microswitch is, well, loud obnoxious modern cheapness. but they are easy to get & install.

randy's unit has a great feel to it and fits into the stock button holder easily.  it's great.

if you want to go full bore and be true to the old school arcade gangster purity, use leaf.
that is fine.
 
but there is no excuse now to use a regular microswitch :)  microleaf is better

these are quiet and feel nice and you dont have to f' around to use them.  they just plug in to what most people already have / can get most easily.

yeah yeah... everyone is all busy chattering because he called it 'micro leaf' .. and put the holy "leaf" word in there.  well, the metal leaf LEVER (not switch) actuating the micro switch gives it a specific feel.
 

BobA:
Sounds good.   Can't wait for mine but the border police have to take their whack at them first.

What's in a name.

Hot Dogs hopefully have no dog.
Hamburgers seldom have ham.
French Fries are not French
Denver Sandwiches don't come from Denver
Big Macs are not at all BIG

Philly Cheese Steaks do have cheese, and steak and are from Philly... They are the exception to the name game.


 ;D ;D

I too have the micro-leafs, plus ponyboy's leaf adapter, regular leafs and cherry microswitches to compare. I also haven't set up the micro-leafs to test playing them yet, BUT I can certainly confirm that they feel much more smooth and are much more quiet than the regular microswitches. A definite improvement over microswitches and I would love to see a joystick that can utilize them. Regular cherry microswitches feel "clunky" in comparison to the micro-leaf's smooth and quiet actuation. Like Santoro said they are'nt as quiet as a regular leafswitch, but they are much more quiet than a cherry microswitch.

I can also confirm these work just fine with Ultralux buttons. I was going to use ponyboy's leaf adapters on the Ultralux but you have to mod them slightly to work properly on those buttons so I'll be using the micro-leafs instead.

ahofle:
I vote Randy removes the 'micro' from the name just to see if someone around here has a coronary.  :laugh2:
