Does anyone know the reason for the variability of leaf switch design between those used with joysticks and those used with buttons?
I'd appreciate advice on the plausibility using the normal joystick leaf switches with buttons and also normal button leaf switches with joysticks.
Also, for those familiar with the Williams joysticks for games like Joust and StarGate, I have in my possession what appears to be after-market leaf switches on a couple of these Williams joysticks I have. the image below shows the new leaf switches on the left joystick and the original leaf switches on the right joystick.
I have no idea what there is if any difference as far as quality is concerned, but the old leaf switches are definitely stiffer.
Is anyone familiar with these new leaf switches and who sells them? (My personal preference is for the stiffer original leaf switches on these joysticks).
Thanks.
