Happ vs IL pushbuttons

Go for IL. They're much better quality, and made in Spain. Happs are made in China.

Get them from paradisearcadeshop.com. They have a huge variety. I've bought from them many times.
 
Thanks for the tip! I heard Happs stuff was made in China now, but couldn't remember the name of the Spanish company. :D

I wanted to get some replacement sticks and buttons for my MKII and wanted to get the best.
 
MKII came with Wico360 joysticks. MK3 and 4 came with Happ competition sticks.. I think Happ is the way to go for Joysticks. Buttons... I have happ buttons in my MK cabs and they are great. Most people wont be able to tell but there is a size difference though. The original midway buttons (I don't know who made them.. maybe someone here does?) are a bit wider. I think its just the border around the button. It's wider by like a millimeter or 2.. Most people wont notice... I'm anal enough to see it though. Again, I cant speak for the IL products.

IL produces the same products as Happ, but just better quality and the Competitions come with color matching dust washers.

Thanks for the feedback guys! :D My MKII when I bought it, whoever was the operator before, had replaced everything with Happs competition sticks and buttons, so I was just going to go with those since they're now a bit worn down. I'll check out IL since I keep hearing they're better quality. :D
 
Yeah it's rare to find the original red Wico360 sticks. My MKII had them but one was very broken. I still have one in nice condition but I replaced all buttons and joysticks with the Happs. Next time I'll try the IL stuff and see if I can tell the difference. =)
 
As far as pushbuttons go there isn't that much of a differnece between Happ and IL. If you want light pushbuttons then I would go with Japanese buttons. As far as American bat styly joysticks for me it's Betson Imperial>IL>Happ. Just my.02.
