Drool....

Very nice.

Awesome... now if SS would only produce lit buttons in similar fashion.

tetsujin · « **Reply #3 on:** February 25, 2005, 10:26:42 pm »

Will they work with T-Sticks?

Helmgar · « **Reply #4 on:** February 25, 2005, 11:02:22 pm »

Will there be bat handle versions of these?

cholin · « **Reply #5 on:** February 25, 2005, 11:14:20 pm »

Wonder how much theyll be and will they work with a T-stik plus?

I notice that you have a multi-color cycling. Are all the balls clear with different colored LEDs, or is that just the color cycling one?

Ooooohh baybeee. RandyT might have taken a little too long to get those translucents online. I was waiting for those but now I just might wait a couple weeks more for these!

NY_in_TX · « **Reply #8 on:** February 26, 2005, 12:07:53 am »

oh so many choices!!

Yeah, I second the question about if the balls are clear and the LED makes the color. If the multicycling could be a multi-SELECTABLE that would be a no brainer.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh and what's the pricing? I suggest a discount for everyone in this thread

I don't see how these could work with T-sticks. The wiring for the LED is almost certainly fed through a a hole at the base of the shaft- making it impossible to attach the 4/8 way switching device.

But does the P360 version fit the Wico leaf I sent you, Christian?

quarterback · « **Reply #10 on:** February 26, 2005, 12:23:46 am »

And will these fit in the Ms Pac reunion?

mahuti · « **Reply #11 on:** February 26, 2005, 12:25:55 am »

You can always cut your own e-clip grooves with a dremel. Takes about 10 minutes or less.

Indeed. I've actually thought about doing that with some leaf buttons I've got since they sit higher than the microswitch buttons on my cp

Hey, Christian- Thanks!

Its about time someone included a guide to fobbing off the wife in the FAQ.

There's so much great gear about and I'm running out of ways to covertly raid the joint account.

Thanks to everyone for the support, these handles are simply awesome and the photos don

MameMaster! · « **Reply #18 on:** February 26, 2005, 03:15:50 pm »

that is so freakin' cool!....nice job on those. One of the cooler mods for sure.

Good luck!...I'm sure they'll sell well.

crashwg · « **Reply #19 on:** February 26, 2005, 06:57:50 pm »

I'm intrigued byt what you call an "anti-twist system". Care to explain? Or should I just wait till someone recieves one and can let us all know what the deal is...

evlbeaver · « **Reply #20 on:** February 26, 2005, 09:31:31 pm »

Any pics of what they look like under normal room lighting? My cocktail is in my living room and it not usually that dark

KevSteele · « **Reply #21 on:** February 26, 2005, 10:16:28 pm »

Pretty lights...oooh....me like...

I'll definitely be getting a set of these for a review.

I like the "user selectable" idea - it would be cool to wire up a switch to change the joystick colors when the mood strikes.

Even as they are, though, it's a pretty cool idea.

Light up everything I say! I'm gonna have to start offering a free set of sunglasses with my cabs...

Ooooh....

I have one question: How much extra space is needed beneath these puppies? For wiring, anti-twist gizmo, etc?

Bling.

Xiaou2 · « **Reply #23 on:** February 27, 2005, 01:40:10 am »

While nice... theres something I dont get...

Why anti-twist?

All joysticks except trigger sticks allow free rotation I believe.
Reason ... is probably so that when you rotate in circles it dosnt burn
your hands up from the friction.

1UP · « **Reply #24 on:** February 27, 2005, 01:45:03 am »

It sounds like the anti-twist feature allows the stick to turn, but not 360 degrees.

SlikStik Christian · « **Reply #25 on:** February 27, 2005, 01:22:12 pm »

crashwg,

I don

whammoed · « **Reply #26 on:** February 27, 2005, 02:53:44 pm »

Very cool.
Since you already have the hollow shaft/anti twist thing figured out, how bout a trigger style replacement handle next?

2nd question: You are 100% correct, it is there to prevent the wire which powers the LED from becoming twisted and being disconnected. Additionally, it does not have a positive return to center, it

Bat versions are not planned due to issues with the bat itself having problems becoming fully illuminated from the led.

i might be able to solve that..

if it works, maybe a free pair for me? ^_^

PM me some time.. i can light up anything

Xiaou2 · « **Reply #32 on:** February 28, 2005, 06:52:16 am »

Opps... didnt think about the wires - but hey, it was late : )

Anyways... One thing to note. I believe these are Frosted.
Not a bad idea.. but I personally would prefer clear. However..
if one has a frosted stick... wouldnt one want frosted buttons to
match?

I would think that it would look odd without matching
buttons.

and for the lighting... one could possibly develop a non spinning
mount for the leds - which still allow the shaft to spin. Though...
I honestly am blank to this currently so maybe Im offbase about it.

That doesn't make it impossible. The T-Stick Plus's toggle is attached by a regular threaded nut. It doesn't cap the end of the shaft.

But I'm guessing the fact that these weren't made for the T-Stick makes them not work with the T-Stick...

*Sorry for thread jacking everyone*

Any word on the limited runs for your stainless steel joysticks yet?
Just curious I know it was originally supposed to be in January, I'm still looking forward for those.

*Once again, sorry for the thread jacking, but I can't get onto your forums for some reason.*

Yeah, that would do it too!

So they are just white when it cab is turned off? Do you plan on making any colored joys that light up? If they where colored I'd buy 4 today.

Goz · « **Reply #37 on:** March 28, 2005, 10:57:07 pm »

Any update of when these will be available?

Do all of the SlickStick shafts have a hole clear through the shaft? Or only the new Lighted Joystick Handles?

I would like to order a pair of regular (non lighted) Slick Stick Joystick handles but only if the shafts have a hole clear through so I can run wires through the shaft for an up coming project. Please let me know
I've looked at the official Slick Stick site FAQ page and the answer was not there.

I second this comment. Especially now that the translucent microswitch buttons are a go.... :: poor mans drool smiley ::
