Not only did John come up with a unique theme for an arcade cabinet, but he also went the extra mile literally "sculpting" custom pieces for his build.

New Product: Micro-Leaf™ Arcade Pushbutton Switches Print E-mail
Nick Greeley, Tuesday, 25 September 2007

RandyT of GroovyGameGear made the following announcement on the BYOAC forums recently: 

Available shortly from www.groovygamegear.com


Here's yet another GroovyGameGear Innovation!  The Micro-Leaf™ Arcade Pushbutton Switch.  The only pushbutton switch to combine the best traits of both the classic leaf-style switch and the modern micro or "snap" switches.  The Micro-Leaf gets rid of the loud clicking. Much like a leaf switch, it's virtually inaudible when installed in a panel and the actuation can't be felt at all.  Actuation is fast and reset travel is tiny, making ultra-fast cycling a reality for the first time ever in a microswitch based arcade pushbutton.  Even the replacement of only the primary fire button switches on your panel with Micro-Leafs will make those rapid-fire games more enjoyable. Features:

  • Fast actuation and provides excellent button sensitivity.
  • Extremely short "reset travel" for rapid fire capability
  • Specially engineered to allow advanced functionality with virtually all conventional microswitch-based arcade pushbuttons
    including RGB-Drive™ outfitted Pushbuttons, NovaGem™ and other bottom lit Pushbuttons
  • No more problems related to loud clicking, excessive resistance, long actuation/reset travel, dirty or mis-aligned contact points.
  • Smaller control panel footprint.  Contacts are vertical and will accept standard .187 Female QD's
  • Switch is manufacturer rated at 1,000,000 mechanical cycles
  • Tough Acrylic and Polyester Construction.  Adapter Plate can be re-used.

Price:  $2.75 each
