What switches are you using? The setup ideally needs the Panasonic AM5 switches which is not common to get in levers or as separate units. Gersung V1623A3 switches worked with my setup just fine.
my switches are from fujin lever and other old crown lever that had panasonic AM5s. well I will try again to see if it was my input mistake.
Got an email response back theyāll double check to see what happen
You can try swapping them at different positions because some of my Panasonic switches are like that.
thanks. I swapped switches and now I feel itās better. but diagonal angle is very small so I must hit exactly in the 45 degree other wise it will resister as 6 or 4 rather than 3 or 1.
is it because of small actuator? or am I just not used to this set up.
@ryu1986 am sorry to tell you but there is more tech into the green lever wich is not achievable with the myoungshin or taeyoung . first of all you need a certain rubber GF silicicone will make the lever feel mushy that leads to other problems with diagonals and feel aswell , then that rubber needs to have some wierd work on it , after that the bushing has to be extra fit to the shaft , so it doesnt wobble much the wobble of green lever comes from the shoft rubber , then you need someone to know how to balance your microswitches after your microswitches are balanced properly , they need some work on the tightness of the metal so the metal doesnt wobble around like 1610 ones do , after that you need some wierd tech of bended on specific spots for the 8 and 2 input so the lever doesnt jump randomly makes easier to sidestep and easier to wavedash if the user wants . am desperatly waiting from another member of the forums to post his freshly made green lever photos to clarifiy few things .
good luck
Hey, does anybody know where I can get the clear plexi for my omni aside from etokki website?
@BrownBiLLs sadly only etokki sells it altho you can download the measurements from their website and go make it yourself in a workshop or something
@el greco thats sick i didnt know about !
@el greco thanks. From that link thereās a impact modified acrylic plexi which is half the thickness of the normal plexi. Does anybody have any experience with this? I want to know if the impact modified acrylic has a chamfered edge where my palms would rest. Since itās so thin Iād imagine it would be difficult to machine.
wow Green Arcade lever is something else huh? so there is no 100% replica for Green Arcade right now.
thanks for the Info.

I just found that golden fanta support for switch does not make switches on Myung shin body flat.
click the link and image will appear.
have to add small washer to make the surface even

I canāt open the link so IDK if it use GF mounting or just the support plate. on myungshin you have to use GF mounting to make the swtich mounted flat.

@wazwuz this link should work

Right now I try to enhance GF grommets experience by using Silicone Material from Shin Etsu (well known Silicones manufacturer from Japan, I just received the material last week). keep in mind, every manufacturer have their own formulas in making polymer/silicone. so even the same hardness rating will give you different feels. For me shin Etsu feels slightly less tension and more flexible.
first testing I made the Green Silicone, I have sent it to LowHigh and his friend SangJun, they like it and told me that it feels very close to Green Lever silicone.
then I continue make the Blue shin etsu Silicone. @ykd and @zero_requiem will have it shortly, and they can review it by comparing to other silicones.
the clear and red shin etsu silicone is still in production at the moment.
I have gathering some data (from sales and feedback), the most popular Grommets is low hardness ( green and clear, followed by blue) so for the Red GF silicone I decide to lower the rating to 60A, I find 65A tension is too hard and the least popular silicone. maybe 60A can be solution for some. and I still have some 65A in stock for who still want it.
shin etsu silicone is now ready at webstore. and for the current silicone is still on sale until the stock last.
for Golden Fanta Mod Kit, It will use shit etsu silicones starting this week.
btw, for those wondering why there are holes on corners, here is the answer
Guys, I have myoungshin taeyoung and helpme is on route. What makes the fujin double the price of any of these? For the most part I see that itās parts design and assembly is the same, aside from the balancing plate for the micro switches.
@BrownBiLLs well everything is tested by him and balanced by him and i think its koreans most durable lever , plus the battop he is using is kinda expensive on its wn to create aswell so that adds up the price abit
Ok ill start posting some real evidence for some levers that we Europeans and i guess rest of the world have kinda wrong in our heads, as i have posted before some levers are sold from even inside Korea very bad and just advirtisment #1 is HelpMe lever 309 ā¦ i have been talking to HelpMe for sometime and he tells me the lever is not the same from IstMall and he never sold anything to IstMall they are just copying the shaft and battop put it inside a 309 and selling it to everyone as HelpMe lever ā¦ recently bought few myself from istmall and iw as like how the hell do koreans like this thing its wack . anyway finally made HelpMe talk on stream abit about it with his poor english and i cliped it . https://clips.twitch.tv/PlacidBelovedMomFutureMan
I am gonna order from him directly so if someone wants REAL helpme lever msg me .am gonna try and buy few measure tools and a damn photograph to start posting some evidence i have found about few levers plus green lever aswell here on the forums .
I donāt believe this Helpme story as presented numerous times on this thread.
IMHO he had a bad deal going on with Crown probably and it didnāt turn out like Helpme expected it from what I hear.
It sounds like some modders propose new variations made with new parts they fabricated themselves and adapted to an existing commercial lever ābaseā, itself sometimes modified (neck opening diameter, switch array distances etc etc) , then eventually it gets commecialized under their name (for example with a new grommet, new bushing, new actuator, eventually some variation on the shaft+handle and finally favourite microswitch type ) . Switch plates or other novelties are sometimes offered as well.
Crown 309 āHelpmeā looks like a slight variation on Crown 303 ( lever body/base dimensions are almost all the same, color changes also from blue to black) , actuator is turned delrin with different diameter, new silicone hardness are available (dimensions are the same except for thickness) , and there you go.
Switch choice is not even worth mentioning, itās always the same business consisting of a restricted choice between discontinued panas sold in Korea and the same old gersungs .
It is impossible to have ISTmall āput a shaft and name a lever Helpmeā, since CROWN (aka Samducksa) calls the model themselves officially ā309 HELPME leverā.
Proof: http://samducksa.com/new/product/index_view.php?UidNum=366
Crown and IST/Myungshin are competitors, I donāt see how ISTmall would make āfakeā Crown 309 Helpme leversā¦
Last but not least, I donāt buy this story that supposedly Helpme āADJUSTS BY HAND EACH SWITCHā as he still claims . It sounds like giant BS to me.
It hope his friends poorly translated his claims and that in fact he only TESTS them one by one to obtain a SET OF FOUR MATCHED switches (to have as close as possible actuation specs on each direction) , and that claim would instead be very reasonable if it was to be confirmed .
