TheShanMan:
Hey shilmover (or anyone else for that matter), do you find that the joystick looks much better with Randy's trigger leaf switch vs. the original (non-translucent)? I'm debating whether it's worth buying one for my tron. Seems like it would be such a subtle difference that it wouldn't be worth it, but since you can apparently do a side by side, I'd value your opinion.

1UP:
From what I've seen, Randy's clear switch holder should be much less visible from the outside than the stock/Happ one, which is easily visible because it is bright metal.  However, the original uses an additional leaf spring to return the trigger, so I'm not sure whether the feel is affected.  I didn't order a switch holder because I already have 3 of the metal Happ ones.  Let's see what Shilmover says.

I have not checked it, but will do so tonight and take pictures.  Stand by.

RandyT:

The throw of the replacement switch is about the same, but the force required to actuate it is MUCH less.  It's still a good, reliable actuation and return of the trigger, but it doesn't feel the same as the original.  I was concerned about this originally, but after comparing it with one of the standard ones out of the box, I think one would get finger fatigue very quickly.  So many may find the softer action of the replacement to be preferable over the original, especially when using the handle for games where the rate and quantity of fire is higher than the games for which these controls were originally designed.

MrMojoZ:
If I was building a setup up from scratch, which stick would make a good base for these? Would prefer to not have to access a 5v line if possible.
