Awesome idea Randy!!!

Question: A while back 1Up posted a suggestion of removing the springs from standard microswitches to make the actuation easier and faster.  I tried that and liked it.  Have you tried that with these?  And if so, does it help, or do these really need the springs back, or is it a personal preference type thing?

Again, thanks for all your hard work in support of our collective hobby!!!

Idea is great Randy.  I only wish I had known so I could have ordered some with my marquee led light.

IMO it is amazing how many criticize or try to second guess a new product without even spending the few bucks to try one out.  An objective review is worthwhile and appreciated all.  S**TKicking from the sidelines is not.

Thanks for all your great stuff Randy.

The LED light is also a standard product adapted for us. It's at a very good price too. I don't care....I will be ordering one of those sooner or later :D
It's the same with the guy making a small PCB with 2 LED's on it and a connector...of course I can make that myself, but some people are less handy or want a "neat" solution....

I think we should be grateful to see Andy and Randy offering innovation on arcade game related products.

I guess that 6000 dollar laser cutter will not be used only for this product......

The only problem I have is that it is called Micro Leaf when, in fact, it's not actualy a leaf.

I believe the metal actuator is called a leaf.  There is only one, as opposed to a traditional "leaf switch" which has contacts on two separate leafs which complete a circuit when they connect.  In this case, a leaf is used to activate a switch and complete the contact.  It's all about leverage.

Tiger-Heli:
You could also make a valid argument that the product uses a microswitch (or microswitch mounting style) to mimic the "feel" of a leafswitch - hence Micro-Leaf ...
