Gold Leaf Silent Short Arcade & Pinball Button

The push button, that magical element we love to push, squeeze, press, crush... . This is one of the indispensable elements when setting up an Arcade Control Panel, an Arcade Cabinet, Bartop or similar project.

With an excellent finish, these new silent Gold Leaf pushbuttons available at Arcade Express are pretty similar to the classic Arcade Happ pushbuttons we found in the Arcades and Pinball but with some differences. These have 2.8mm gold plated built-in microswitches, they are shorter than the standard Arcade Happ buttons and they are completely silent. Pretty similar to the ones used in Pinball machines. 

Given that the Gold Leaf pushbuttons are only 28.6mm long you can use them to mod Arcade Fight-Sticks such as the Mayflash F300, the Qanba, Mad Catz, HORI. This button is perfect to be installed in wooden panels which are not very thick and do not have much space in the base and in metal panels.

As for the feeling when pressing these buttons, they have a medium-soft tension spring. They don't feel as soft as when using Cherry or Zippy microswtiches, but they do feel softer than the standard American Happ type push buttons.

The Silent Gold Leaf push button model is available in the following colours: black, white, blue, yellow, green and red. 

If precision and silence are your thing, these are the buttons you were waiting for!

Mounting Information
