New Product: Micro-Leaf™ Arcade Pushbutton Switches - GroovyGameGear

To be very honest, I neither seek nor require your permission to name my products as I see fit. The switch has been specially selected for its very specific traits out of the hundreds of models and manufacturers of switches that look like that. It's spelled out clearly in the description what the switch is, namely a microswitch with some of the leaf-like traits that people are seeking. I don't think I have created anything other than a clever design to allow individuals to use these more "leaf-like" switches in pushbuttons. It's angled to allow space for lighting while still being positioned for the best performance of the switch. If you don't like the angle, and don't have lighted buttons, I'll happily sell you a set of prototypes (that I prematurely started production on :P) which don't have it.
Perhaps in your quest to purify English language product names you'd find some entertainment in harassing HAPP for their "Ultimate" Joysticks, which most find to be mediocre at best .... followed by the "Cold Heat™" soldering iron people. When you are done with those, another 10 minutes in the trademark database should yield enough pointless endeavors to keep you busy for the rest of your life. :)

Yes, I will be offering replacement switches to Micro-Leaf™ owners. It's wouldn't be right to make folks re-purchase the adapter parts if just a switch should go bad.

I don't post things that are untrue, as the "snake oil" term would infer, and I market my products no differently than anyone else. I just take more heat for it :cheers:

There always has to be those few that complain no matter what you do... If you toned down your marketing as was suggested, you'd have others saying you need to step it up so your noticed by vets and noobs alike. I for one appreciate that a hobbiest is out there producing quality products for other enthusiasts!

Not true - you write better ad copy than most - and take more heat for it. :cheers:

Wow, looks like it's time to change out all 14 switches in my cab. I can't stand the "CLICK CLICK CLICK" of the Cherry switches. Here's hoping you make some joystick switches too, I'd buy those as well.
And my god at all the cry babies in this thread. Make something better or STFU.

He's created a new name for an adapter and switch set that allows someone with microswitch pushbuttons to get some of the benefits of leaf switches without the negatives of leaf switches. I understood exactly what he meant by the name. If anyone is unclear as to exactly what it is, he includes pictures that show that it is a microswitch with a lever actuator mounted to an adapter that allows it to fit into an existing microswitch button. Where is he misleading anyone?
