Happ Transluscent vs. Regular Pushbutton tacktile feel
csa3d:
Hey all!
I am currently running Groovy Game Gear Electric Ice pushbuttons on my rig. They work, diffuse light great, but after using them for a while the way the physical button feels to me is cheap. They squeek when tapping repeatedly, sometimes get stuck, and are made of a much harder feeling materical then happ pushbuttons, making them feel "looser" and noisy.
I'm considering replacing them with Happ Translucent buttons like these:
I'd like to know if anyone has these buttons, if they contextually feel the same as the standard black happ pushbuttons, or if because of the clear plastic, they feel hard and clicky like I describe the GGG E-Ice buttons.
Thanks!

Sounds like the same gripes I had about Ultimarc's Ultralux lighted pushbuttons:

I'm interested in an answer to your question. I'd love lighted pushbuttons that felt as nice as the standard Happ.

From the thread referenced above:

I don't object to the feel of them, but prefer standard buttons more. If I ever have LED issues with the translucent Happs, I won't be to worried about going back to standard Happ buttons.

Wonder if I should go with white standards and drilling them out for LED acceptance instead.. hmmmm

I think I've read where people have tried that and the results weren't very good.

What about the GGG Novagems? I have them and can't tell a difference between them and the standard Happs button.
