We expect sticks in next week that will allow for RGB installations on:

Ultimarc Mag-Stik Plus
All shafts will allow for a 5mm LED on top, will fit in our custom ball top threading and we will be stocking RGB LEDs with wires already attached for easy installation.

That's awesome news!  Almost makes me glad I got sidetracked on my project for 8 months!  Are the shafts in yet?  When can I order?

I'm also interested in RGB ball tops for the mag stik plus...  I saw on your site that you've got several different hollow shaft versions in stock for various joysticks but don't see this one yet.  Any update?

Do you know yet what the pricing will be on the various components?  (Shafts, LEDs, balltops....)  Also, do you have a white/clear bubble top that will fit the shaft?  I'm just wondering which would look better with the RGB, a clear bubbletop or the frosted translucent...  Sounds cool either way...   ;D

We have a limited number of "samples" in a variety of colors that I may sell off, including clear.  However remember, clear acts as a lense and can be a bit difficult with an LED.

Price point.... 15-20 dollar shaft(these are completely custom stainless steel shafts, and yes we have a limited number for the magstick plus....), 6-8 dolllar ball top, and the RGB LED with wires, I would like to say 25 for the kit plus shipping (some shafts may be more than others, ie. Magstick Plus)

If the price isn't too high on those "samples" I might pick up a couple AND a couple of the frosted/translucent ones...  Can always swap 'em out from time to time...   :lol   Are the clear samples you have "bubble style" or more of a solid?  Depending on the driver board you can dim the LEDs down quite a bit, I know what you mean by the lens effect but I think some people like to blast their LEDs at full brightness all the time but you really could drop it down quite a bit depending on personal tastes...

Samples will probably go for 6-10 each, They are limited, as in, I need to order at least 100 more to get them gain.  They are all crystal clear.

Hmm if they're crystal clear I'd probably pass, though bubble top sounded cool.  I think you have white bubbletops in one size or another on your site but I guess those aren't threaded to fit these?  I'll still be keeping an eye out for the frosted white though.  Do you think you'll have a "slip-ring" assembly for the LEDs like I've seen on other stores?  Since the nature of the Mag-Stik Plus is that there is frequent twisting because of the 4-way to 8-way switch I'm thinking that wires might have a tendency to twist up.  Also because of that handle-twisting nature I'm thinking that screw-on balltops might have a tendency to come loose... so I'll be keeping the loctite handy!   ;D

 Are your prices on the first page still accurate?  I'm not finding the led convex buttons on your site for 2.10.

Sorry for the delay....prices are correct in the store.  We are going to be shutting down for 2 weeks, adding about 20-40 new products and revamping some of the pricing.....  I will have an updated, corrected and list of new items up on 9/2.

While you're doing updates, can you PLEASE fix your original post in this thread which incorrectly lists the free shipping code as "FORUMS" instead of "Forums".

ALL ORDERS OVER 100 FREE ARE FREE US SHIPPING WITH "FORUMS" CODE

"FORUMS" doesn't work for free shipping on an order I'm trying to place of $159...
Nep clearly shows what he thought was the right answer.

Forums capitalized should work. If not I will get it fixed tonight!
Protip: Put quotes around the word Forums and drop "capitalized" for actual clarity, since this could be interperted as either "FORUMS" or "Forums".

Nothing personal in this post today, the e-mail last week, or the PM I sent two weeks ago -- all requesting this same correction -- just trying to save customers the frustration of reading to page 2 to find an unclear hint about the correct code and spare Susan the time and bother of doing a chargeback like she graciously did for my last order.

If nothing else, your customers can find the correct code here -- "Forums".

Hmmmm, thought we had fixed this . I will edit the post or Prestashop before we allow orders again.

As a note, emails are easier than pms, most pms are forwarded to email for response... Susan check email daily, if I am getting killed at the hospital I don't get on the forums every day.

Thanks for keeping on it, PL1, hoping to revamp a few things, many of which will be transparent to customers but facilitate our efficiency.

Their web page says they got back yesterday and planned to start shipping orders today.  I wouldn't worry about not having received a reply yet, it's going to take a while to catch up on emails I'm sure.

If you have to place an order today...  well, I wouldn't expect to go to the front of the list.  And they take a little while to ship anyway.

We only turned on the store to accept orders yesterday and I believe all but 2 orders were shipped... before vacation we were down to 1-2 days on all standard orders, ie. orders that were not custom builds, Susan has been busting her rump to get the store running full steam. 

We expect 24-50 new products in the store over the next 60 days.  We met with a company who is going to start producing some unique and exciting products while on "vacation".  We are also talking about adding a complete line of cap kits.

They aren't sold out.  we are waiting for the shipment.  I did not make the whole order available for presale......  There will be a restock this week so please keep your eyes open for it.  We also may be reordering depending on how quickly the rest of our stock sells out.

Unfortunately the colors of the green IL are the same, however, we have added this very fun item to our offerings!
Please note that this is a Zippyy joystick, we are producing these on the led Paradise "pink top" joysticks:





From where I could purchase these led parts now?

Hey, sent you a PM and an email via your site but figured I'd ask here in case you havent received my question yet.
I bought one of your pink top sticks, but I need a longer shaft for it to fit properly on my wood control panel. Which shaft do I need to purchase to fit this properly? I was thinking this one, but wasn't sure...

Can you help?

Hello. I am wanting to place an order but haven't received a reply to my questions that I sent a few days ago via PM here and through your website (regarding buttons).  I wanted to post here in the event you may have accidentally deleted them or are backed up right now. Need to finalize an order on Monday.  If you are backed up its not a problem as I can order somewhere else this time around. Thanks!

Maybe you can help with this question.

I've got a zippy joystick with B.Lee switches (black and red) and I'm wondering if the zippy switches have a smaller travel between engage and disengage?

edit: all the specs are online, so can you just tell me the full model code (order code) for the lever arm zippys you are selling?
