No more pearl tops? Will any of the hollow joystick shafts work in a Seimitsu LS-56?

Do you have an ETA on that button combo sale? I have a few friends that would probably interested in it too :P. No rush though.

I’m waiting on an answer to this, too. The LED pearl tops are hot.

Edit: Also, the site doesn’t specify what model the pre-installed LED sticks are, only that they’re “Seimitsu.” I think getting one would really complete the look of the stick I’m planning, but there’s not much info on the site about them.

got my issue resolved. awesome service and truly unique items!

Will you be selling the balltops with the RGB LEDs installed by themselves?

Also, are the RGB LEDs going to be common anode or common cathode?

Pearl “Sanwa” buttons (repo’s or otherwise) would kill it.

I got my order in and let me first say I love the variety of products you carry. I ordered a few different microswitches to test them out. I love the 20 gram Zippys. These things feel amazing. I also ordered an illuminated button with the rollie leaf switch but there was a note with the invoice saying that they were incompatible so the leaf switch wasn’t sent. Susan left a note saying she’d credit my account, but is there a way I can just get store credit or something. I plan on making more purchases in the future. My order # was 2551. Also, there is something wrong with the illuminated button that was sent. The plunger is getting stuck in the rim for some reason. I’m pretty sure it’s the barrel, since I switched the plunger from a button I know works and it was the same thing. Again, not a big deal right now, I plan on ordering more stuff in the future. I gotta a few more questions on some of your other products as well, but I’ll save those for later, just wanted to let you know about this order. Thanks.

Ponyboy makes Pearl Rollie buttons, which accept Sanwa switches.

There are also the Seimitsu PS-14-P, which also accept Sanwa switches.

can you get the clear button plungers ? I could not find them on the site.

The material looks different. Does it look like the pearl top / Electric Ice buttons lit up?

Probably doesn’t. I mean, there’s likely no way to guarantee the materials are even similar when made by two completely different companies.

That said, I don’t buy from groovy game gear, I don’t know what their stuff is like.

I don’t suppose Sanwa’s mesh balltops actually allow light through, do they?

Mesh balls are opaque… You’re not going to see light through them. They’re solid-colored plastic.

You need bubbletops or clear tops for LED set-ups. Bubbletops I hear scatter the light nicely…


For anybody that wants to know, the Pearl pushbuttons from Seimitsu are getting harder to find.
The white pearls have been sold out for years and last I saw the only parts shop (that I’m aware of) that has any blue Seimitsu pearls in-stock is arcadeshop.de … Even Akihabarashop.jp is sold out of both the blue and white pearl pushbuttons.

Nobody in the US has carried Seimitsu Pearl pushbuttons since GamingNow.net (Nareg Ploozian’s shop) closed around 2 years ago…

Your best option is Rollie’s Pearls if you want blue and white pearl buttons. How well these buttons mix with Seimitsu Pearls I don’t know. I know that as far as the Seimitsu Pearl pushbuttons were concerned, I never bothered to swap out the PS-14D microswitches in them for the Sanwa SW-68. The Seimitsu Pearls were comfortable and sensitive enough for me in stock condition. They probably would have been overly sensitive (for my tastes) with SW-68 replacement switches. PS-15 pushbuttons with SW-68 microswitches are a different story!

Stupid question, do you guys sell Happ buttons?

I buy all my parts from Paradise, and even shipped from Hawaii to Connecticut it gets there in just a few days, no waiting for parts (like some other reptilian based parts companies) and every time I order they throw in little candies from Hawaii. The little things like that make good impressions, I would highly recommend Paradise!
And no, nobody paid me say this :stuck_out_tongue:

They sell IL buttons. They’re pretty much the same thing. IL made buttons for Happ until Happ started to make their own in China.
Get them with 20g microswitches. They’re nice!

I recently pay for 2 IL packs, now i will be wait for updates on my order status :stuck_out_tongue:

Ordered a bunch of parts from you guys to make some sticks!

Actually, pearl tops light up beautifully and naturally diffuse the light, that’s why I was wondering if mesh balls would let anything through. Could be really cool, I just don’t know anyone who has one so I can try it out.

These guys are great! Excellent prices and customer service!

I was pleasantly surprised that shipping for my order was only $6.00 and it took 3 days to get from Hawaii to Georgia!

Mahalo!
