I only suggested it because people with leaf switches claim they can never run as fast with microswitches as with leafs.

Not discounting you, but there is a little clarification.  BYOAC is like a big game of telephone, by the time you get the information it's not entirely correct.

People claim that they can never run as fast compared when using leaf switches on a real PCB compared to microswitches using MAME.  Show me a post where someone used leaf switches using MAME, then turned off the PC and switched the leaf switch buttons to microswitches, turned the PC back on and ran the same test. 

I'm not saying it isn't a valid test game, just that there should be more then one test game.  For all we currently know, T&F is to buttons as Arkanoid is to Spinner games.  The microleafs could be really good, but what if a T&F test doesn't turn in the results that everyone is hoping for.  Everyone would assume it's the microleafs fault when it may not be.

I don't see how turning off the PC and exchanging the leaf switches to microswitches would give you a different result than changing them without turning off the PC.

Pls explain...

It won't matter from a testing standpoint, although you should turn the PC off when you switch them since it's a live circuit.

What really matters, and I was subtly trying to imply, is testing with the same exact setup.  That way the only variable are the switches.

I make my control panel with some pretty tight spaces so the contacts in horizontal come in handy. These swtiches with the contacts pointing down might not fit inside my CP enclosure.

That was mentioned in the introductory thread.  Randy said you could probably bend the tabs - once.
