YES, for me the buttons made a huge difference, night and day for sure... and im not even a current arcade player, i cant remember the last time i was at an arcade but i used to spend all my money on games from the SF2 era to SFIII 3rd strike.

the standard HRAP buttons move around alot, they are kind of thick and bulky, also they are not very responsive, you have to really press on them hard when doing 3 button moves (ultras). i found that if it didnt or if i was not very precise with my finger tips then only 2 of the 3 buttons would register.

my next mod is going to be the joystick. i cant justify buying a new and stiffer stick to put inside my HRAP3 as i have spent enough on it already so i can going to mod it. im going to do a spring mod, that means doubling up on the springs that keep the joystick centered or using a single stiffer spring from a different joystick. this mod will give the stick a more controlled feeling so it wont feel as loose.
