Will I feel the protector during gameplay?

The protectors are very thin and smooth. Most players report that they cannot feel any difference during gameplay while their buttons stay protected.

How often should I replace button protectors?

Replace when you notice visible wear or scratching. With regular home use, a set typically lasts one to two years depending on play frequency.

Precision-cut protectors for pinball machine flipper buttons and cabinet sides. These high-contact areas show wear quickly from regular gameplay — finger oils, friction, and impacts take their toll on the finish. Our protectors provide an invisible barrier that prevents wear marks, scratches, and paint degradation. Each set is designed for a specific machine model to ensure seamless coverage. Made in Germany from durable, optically clear Vivak (PET-G) material that does not yellow over time.
