Here is a quick mod and install tutorial video walking you through how to change out the buttons on your AtGames Legends Pinball 4K The Addams Family Machines with Ultimarc Gold Leaf Buttons. There is a myth in the community claiming that swapping out the buttons will reduce flipper lag on the Zen Studios Pinball Games - we'll provide slow motion video to confirm whether or not this actually does anything to improve the flipper latency and all that kinds of stuff.

Gold-plated contacts. No tarnishing nor degradation results in no deterioration in response. The contact leaves and the external connections are fully gold plated.
Self-Lubricating. Made from PA6 which is a Nylon plastic with self-lubricating properties. Not polycarbonate which can cuse wear/binding.
Low inertia The moving part of the button is ultra-light and only 10mm deep, unlike other types where the plunger extends the full depth of the button.
No Click Leaf switch means no clicking micro-switch.
No Plunger Spring The body of the button contains no large spring. This results in a uniquely low actuation force of 45 grams for the entire button.
No Hysteresis. This is the difference in button depression for the contact close and open points. On these buttons the position is the same, resulting in maximum repeated actuation performance. On micro-switch buttons this "dead" distance can be up to 1.5 mm.
Concave top. Most serious gamers prefer the classic concave tops over the convex which are commonly used on Japanese low-inertia buttons.
Robust. The limit stop of the button is supported by the button body not the switch so no chance of switch damage owing to over-enthusiastic play!
Compact integral design. No fiddly assembly after fitting through the panel. Totally enclosed leaf-switch contacts.
Economic Despite their performance these are similar in price to standard arcade buttons and the price is all-inclusive, nothing extra to pay for add-on switch options.
Nut & Thread Fixing. We have retained the traditional threaded fixing rather than the push-in design of certain other low-inertia buttons as we believe this gives the most effective permanent mounting in all types of panel up to 19mm (3/4 in).
