Just recieved my replacement joystick for my Tron from groovy game gear and I ordered a new trigger switch assembly. On there website it shows the micor switch assembly for the trigger assembly to be white and the one they sent me is black, just wondering if anyone else who has ordered the replacement trigger switch asssembly from groovy game gear for the Tron joystick can tell me what color the micro switch is that was sent for theirs. I think the white would look better because it wouldn't show up as much as the black switch especially when lite up, if they did send me the wrong color I would like to get the white switch so I just wanted to check with others out there.

I think it would be the other way around... the white would "floures/glow" under the black light making it stand out more.

I don't own a Tron, nor do I plan to....just thinking about blacklights and color reaction.

Mine had a white one with it.
 
I contacted them this is what they said

"In actuality, the black one will be much less obvious when it is lit.
Also, the switch is upgraded from the previous white one. We had these
made special for this application because the white switches used
previously had a very light spring return, which did not give a positive
click, or trigger return. They worked, but these are vastly better"

So I guess the black won't stand out as much as Kevinmullins said and the switch is supposedly better than the old white switch. I just thought the white looks better and would be less visible even when the game is not powered up.
