Mind you I forgot what I already knew which is the SW-68 has a step in it too, just less aggressive. So that's why if you push them together, the Hayabusa moves, then the Sanwa, then the Hayabusa again when the Sanwa gets to the bottom. I assume the Sanwa looks sort of like this which is why I guess the Hori switch has to be very similar to the MM9-3.

Oddly that probably lends itself to the various different interpretations you get of button differences depending which way and how hard you press. The harder step can feel stiffer or clickier, or if you smash through that part of the stroke but not all the way the stronger spring at the bottom can feel "mushy" compared to hard bottoming. I think the Hayabusa tends to get the reputation of a light twitchy button because the wobbly low profile design means you get very little travel or resistance if you press off center.
