: The "click" you mention associated with mciroswitches isn't really so bad, especially if you have your control panel closed and mounted in the cabinet. Furthermore, with the sound going full tilt, you should be too busy or distracted to notice. Check out your nearby arcade!
It's not the sound that bothers me, it's just the buttons themselves. I don't like the snap feel of microswitch buttons, or the pathetically short throw of a full push.
I've been a vidiot since the early 80s (even worked in one for 4 years in the golden age), I know all about the differences; and I prefer leaf switch buttons. I don't really care on the joysticks because they feel fundamentally the same; but the buttons I do.
I just thought "no clicky-clicky" sounded more fun than "I don't like microswitch buttons".
heh
