Do you have a picture of them mounted in a control panel? Art |

I like EVERYTHING about this stick, except the stick itself. All of its functionality meets the needs of a great number of people here, clearly. But there's no way I'm putting a stick with that shaft and ball in my machine. I want old-school feel, old-school appearance, and I'll echo what others have said here: I want the option of not having that half-bat / half-ball-top stick. The simple solution would be to offer it with this bat (it's still a bat in my mind regardless of the top) and with an original pac-style shaft and ball. With the exception of that (in my case, it's a deal breaker), this is a stellar product concept. Don't stop with where it's at. I hope to see you continue to evolve it... |

I agree with mushmouth, if the stick just had that old Wico style (steel shaft with red ball top) I would've bought these for my cabinet. As it is though I'm going with the J-Sticks unless tombaci gives me the thumbs up on the leaf switch sticks he just ordered from quarterarcade. I do like the functionality of the Omni (and the panel top switching from 4 to 8 way is very handy) but the look of them is a deal buster. |

RandyT, Just wondering if you were going to offer a mounting plate for the basic Omni similar to the one one the Prodigy (without the slide cutout). I think a lot of people who choose the Prodigy for player one will want a basic Omni for player two (I do). The mounting plate would allow ease of mounting in a wood CP, ensure the sticks are mounted at the same height, and provide a consistant look. I know i would pay double the price of a basic Omni just to have the plate included. Great products...I'm just concerned about the mounting. |

If a ball top is all your after--cut the half and half job off and mount a 1 3/4" wood ball to the top (can be found at all craft stores). Paint it with a nice rich red color--car touch up paint gives nice finish and then clear coat. I'm working onthis right now--will post picks when i'm done. Don't let a small thing like a handle style get in the way of classic gaming ;) |
