Yes. Tested with EI, NovaGem, HAPP Horizonal, IL and Betson pushbuttons. They leave plenty of room for the lighting as well.

*edit* Quite a number of these have shipped so I would expect other independent reviews to be forthcoming. :)

they're wonderful.
the switch adds nothing undesirable to the experience.
you are basically tapping the button mechanism and the switch is reading it. you barely know its there.
UNLIKE the regular microswitches where the little cherry clicker down in there is taking front stage
and making sure you know that there is a little clicking microswitch down there soaking up all your button pushing energy.
these just let the button be what it is and read what youre doing. much more passive.
you can do the original arcade style 'how fast can i move my finger' style button tapping instead of 'how fast can i click this button'
know what i mean?
plus they fit nicely with those kick ass rgb led boards ;)
i dont really see the point of using anything else... these get the job done perfectly, dont make any noise and shouldnt require tweaking or additional physical space.
standard leaf switches are always great for authenticity and 100% purist accuracy in feel.
but after installing these i no longer yearn for them.

Can we say "Gotta get the last word in..."
More Cowbell:
I, myself, can't wait to order some of these microswitches that act and respond like leaf switches. The name "micro-leaf" seems to fit them perfectly.
