The rates went up with the steel shortage, but if you purchase it with the joystick it is actually cheaper.

Hahaha.  You don't machine them out of anodized aluminum.  You machine them out of aluminum and have them anodized!  If you wanted to keep the shafts silver and only anodize the ball/bat you cut the shafts slightly bigger initially and after anodizing the whole thing stick it back in the lathe and skin the anodize off the shaft.  I've already had this idea in my head for an upcoming project and I have a friend who is a machinist.

Thanks for correcting me, but you just described machining anodized aluminum ::)  Why not just immerse only the handles into the bath instead of the whole thing then? hahaha

It would be great to have these as an option to upgrade the T-stiks depending on the style and design of your control panel IMHO.

Wow, who knew Slik Stik even had customers here anymore.
