Anyone using Dominux joysticks from GGG?
« on: March 02, 2015, 01:58:46 pm »
There was a lot of talk about these when they were first coming out but I haven't heard much about real world experience yet.
Anyone care to share if they've used them?
Are replacement grommets available? Are the the same grommets as used by Wico?

I'm sure we'll get some feedback as soon as he manages to sell one.

How do they feel in comparison to the original Wico Leafs for say, Robotron?

Any more details you can provide? Build quality, throw, activation...etc?

Yep, they're fantastic. I like mine better than my Wico, actually. Build quality, feel, look, appearance are all top-notch.

I'm really thinking about trying one out now.
I'm currently using a Crown which at the time of purchase was one of the few new sticks using a rubber centering grommet but it's a little too light.

I read a review on GGG where someone is very happy with them on their Robotron

Once I have more time to work on my machine, I'm planning to upgrade to 2 of them at first and 4 eventually.  Robotron and Smash TV are my favs and I can see loving these joysticks instantly.  I plan to get them sometime in the Spring.

When I get mine, I plan to really go through it well.
I'll post some pics and what not.
When these first came out, I complained they were a bit pricey but I've just gotta see if they're worth it.

That's cool, you've been here before.
Besides I've got your robocop cabinet.

Thanks I just received an 8 way and so far I'm pretty impressed with the build of this stick.
I still have to install in in my panel though.
