You make me curious about the Seimitsu buttons. I am in the process of building an arcade stick and went with a Seimitsu LS-32-1 stick for a change. I originally ordered standard Sanwa OBSF-30, so I think I will order a set of Seimitsu buttons to try out.
I stumbled over the sanwa buttons, accidentally via a youtube button comparison video. I used cheap happ style buttons before and they needed too much space and the spring was way too hard for my taste (due to a work related rsi i am very sensitive when it comes to pressure, hence i also use only mecha keyboards)
given my rsi I have to be in a very fine position regarding pressure, too much, my fingers hurt, to few my fingers also hurt because i hit the end too hard.
To sum it up, I bought the led Semitsu (they are quite expensive) and they had the perfect feeling for me. The video states that the sanwas everyone swears on were very easy going. Given that I have a Sanwa stick at home which feels to soft for my taste, I could imagine those were too soft for me.
The LED semitus were #1 choice because of leds and they take very little spave given their small jst connectors instead of going the usual lip connector path. But they are really expensive, so going with non LED semitsus might be the better path.
Btw. having the direct comparison, I prefer the feel of the Ultimarc J-Stick/Servo stick over the soft throw of the Sanwas any time. I probably will exchange the spring of the sanwa I have because of that.
