Was it a wood panel vs. metal CP thing, or just production randomness? I ask because I have a ton of Nintendo buttons that I have acquired over the years, and most have a lot of travel and the button sticks up above the housing a good 3/8-1/2". Every now and then though, I'll try to mate a housing and button of the same color, and the button shaft seems shorter, giving the button very minimal travel and making it rise above the housing by barely 1/4". I would think the wooden panel buttons, Orange and Blue, would be the only colors affected by this length issue, but I have green and red buttons and housings that have this same issue. It's driving me nuts, as putting the shorter shaft button in:
a. Doesn't look right
2. Doesn't feel right
c. sometimes won't engage the microswitch
What gives? Also, why are some of the internal springs perfectly wound and beautifully pyramid shaped, while others look like old broken bed springs from the "Doctor's Couch" in Fritz's back room?
