Anyone use non-round buttons?

Post by Swevicus »

Hey, guys.

After using plain old round buttons (Sanwa and Seimitsu, not so much IL or Suzo-Happ), I'd like to ask: has anyone here got any experience with using non-round buttons? I know Sanwa Denshi make square and triangular buttons, and I'm thinking of integrating them into my latest fightstick. At least it'd stand out a bit compared to plain old circles. :)

Certainly seen some on crappy arcade machines before...

...and some hit boxes.

Anything with a ball/bat stick probably looks a little weird with square buttons... I'd wonder whether or not square/circular provide any benefit vs. wear/catching.
