thinking about going with micro switch buttons on the pac and centipede. just wanted to know if they are hard to change over to? or is one better than the other? Thanks
In my opinion they're worse than the leafs (leaves?).
I had micro-switches in the cabinet I put my Time Pilot 84 in... after a couple of hours, I finally scavenged a leaf switch off of a spare CP and put it in. The response is faster (shorter throw) and they're easier to press. Micros are better in fighting games... but that's about it... for a game where you just have to press the button once in a blue-moon or just hold it down for longer periods of time, a micro will work fine. But for a game (like Time Pilot 84) where you're constantly pressing the button over and over again... your forearm will thank you if you stick with leafs.
As for the joystick... again, for a fighting game... micros. For Pacs, leave the leaf switches... the clicking sound will get on your nerves eventually for standard games. This is especially true with games like Robotron, Pac, ... actually, lemme keep the list short and just say non-fighting games. They feel better, they respond better (again, non-fighting games) because you get that little bit of resistance that builds toward the full throw of the joystick, and they don't sound like someone is under your CP shaking a paint can with a single tic-tac in it.
They do make translucent leaf switches in pretty much every color you could want.
Or you could just jamma, multi, or mame all your games and it really would not matter....![]()
