--- Quote from: EagleTG on October 06, 2010, 03:56:45 pm ---I've modified the switches in mine. The ones Ultimarc used were very stiff, I replaced it with ones that actuate closer to the Cherry pressure (50 gram?). I've just recently acquired even lighter microswitches (20 gram) that I'm planning on replacing to see if I can make it even more responsive/lighter touch. Here's a write-up I did on my mod: http://www.togeo.com/togeo/wordpress/?p=67 Thanks. --- End quote --- I recently bought two mag-sticks and love them, but only after changing out/trimming lighter switches than the ones that shipped with it. Easy to do, really, and I was really glad I came across the above link in the forums. |

That flange always scared me (think heavy Robotron session....), and it looks kind of ugly anyways. A hole you 'dial' with your finger would've been more suave. --- End quote --- FWIW, the folks who use them, love them, and we get plenty of requests for them when they go OOS. The lack of current availability is due to the fact that the parts we need to build them were mistakenly left at our old location, and we haven't returned to pick them up yet. But they will likely become unavailable permanently, once our current stock of parts is depleted. The company we purchased our reasonably priced, laser cut metal parts from, could not keep the laser running, and decided to sell it. We have been unable to source the metal parts at anything remotely near the previous price, and the cost of the Suzo 500 upon which the unit is based, has also risen dramatically. This would price it out of the market to the point that it is not economically feasible to continue to offer them. We are considering options, however, to provide similar functionality with other less costly sticks and switching methods down the road. RandyT |
