** New SlikStik Product (Pear Tops) **
« on: December 05, 2004, 11:52:12 am »
All,

   Here are the new 2-piece interchangeable pear top joysticks from SlikStik. They are manufactured in the same fashion as our new ball top handles. They are available in the same 5 colors, Blue, Red, Black, Purple & High polished stainless steel.

These are awesome pieces of CNC machined aluminum & stainless and are simply gorgeous.

They will be available on our website later this evening.



Thank You

Christian

Do they use the same shafts as the balltops? Are they all interchangable?

willyum,

   They do not use the same shafts due to height differences between the ball & pear tops.

You guys should produce a stainless steel spacer to go onto a pear-top handle that would make it the correct height for a balltop!  :laugh:

Christian,

Would you please email or post as an attachment the most up-to-date config file for the SlikStik Quad?

I would like to know the key assignments so I can work them into my CPMaker application.

My email is buddabing at houston dot rr dot com.

Thanks,

Christian, how hard would it be for you guys to make a hollow shaft with a semi transparent frosted top, IE for inserting LEDs to make the top glow.

We have been looking into that for weeks now, lets just say some very cool is in the works ;) ;) ;) But in all seriousness, these new aluminum pear tops are the best joysticks I have ever seen or played with, I can

Hi Christian, I was an early adopter of your first stainless steel pear tops but ultimately couldn't use them because they were too heavy in my Supers and the follow up heavy duty springs made them too unweildy and stiff.

Are these new ones lighter or have you considered hollow versions?  Thanks -
