your thoughts on current 4-way joysticks please
Zeosstud:
I agree with you 100% on the ServoStik in 8 way mode, it makes me sad, but it is just a fact.. I will most likely just sell mine..

I tried yesterday to order a couple of 4-way joysticks to test, but they disallow shipping to the UK. I emailed them and it doesn't look like they will resume shipping to the UK any time soon either, despite me being a long-time repeat customer of theirs. :(

Apologies for the thread derailment, but I thought it important to share exactly why we decided to no longer ship to the UK. The short of it is potentially stiff consequences for the seller if they do not comply with the new, draconian VAT tax registration, collection and reporting requirements on sellers outside of the UK. We have unfortunately had to do the same with the state of Kansas due to similar requirements from only that state in our fine Union, so the UK isn't being singled out by us.

We just don't do enough UK business to justify dedicating our limited resources to such things. Trust me, it annoys me as much as it does you!

You have to do all that even if the value is over £135?

I just ordered 4 wat and 8 way Dominux8 sticks yesterday for my vertical classics setup. I've already used these in another build and can't imagine anything feeling better to me. But joysticks are like food not everyone is going to like the same thing. Some nutballs out there don't like pizza.
pbj:
Mail the joysticks to me, I'll slap a label on them and remail to the UK as a gift for the cost of shipping. I do not give a ---fudgesicle--- about your government and their taxes.
