It is not good because you will feel differrence when you press button in different points. On left side feel will be hard on right side it will be ... (?) :) If you play on games where you must shoot often, you newer press button in center, always on edge of button. ::)

A regular microswitch button only contacts on one side; how is this any different?

To me it looks like the angle is set to make the distance to the actuator more similar to what a leaf would be.  I'm dying to see what these new switches do for my Track and Field scores.

Take the switch out of your pushbutton and see if the button returns after you push it :)

If the button's spring tension alone isn't enough for one's tastes, one can also stretch the spring slightly to increase the resistance as desired.

I have some on the way, if Randy doesn't do that maybe I can arrange it.  I think Track and Field will be a good benchmark for me; I run with only one finger on one button, and I can't do it nearly as well as I used t.  Slow microswitch or just old age?  We'll soon see.
