How do we order?  Seems like the web application is unavailable...   ;)

yeah seems like their web store is broken, but they were right on the parts page.  I guess they are having some technical issues??

Thanks for the compliments guys, we appreciate it. As for the web store, we are doing a massive upgrade and the store will be down for a day, this should be running at top speed on Monday morning.


Thank You

One last question (hopefully),  can I get the lighted sticks unassembled?  Or at least to where I can remove the knob and use my own led?

Yes, if you would like. When you are ready to purchase one do so, and then send me an email at info@slikstik.com referencing your order ID# and I will ship it unassembled.


Thank You

Gotta say I love them.  Not sure what I would use them on yet but I will be getting some to play with on my next order.
So...when are you going to come out with a trigger style ball top for this stick?  A trigger stick p360...that would be sweet!
What size are the threads for the ball tops on these?  I might consider buying some stock ball knobs and try to fashion a button to them if possible.

I finally set mine up tonight. These things are bright and look sweet!!
A couple things though:
1. the handle is longer than my previous super. Is there a way to change this to make them a little shorter? I have tried everything. I actually would like them down about 1/2" or so. I put them in without the top washer, and the length was great, but you can't use the joysticks that way since they won't center very well.
2. The plug on the bottom has come out twice. It is not in very tight. Is there a secret to getting these to stay on. I have only played with mine for about an hour so I don't have any long term use to the plug coming loose over time. It is pushed in all the way, so don't ask that question.
Overall a great product.

The handles are a little higher than the stock ones and cannot be adjusted. As for the plug not staying in, you must have the loop between the end and where you put the clamp on too short which if that

Hey Christian this is Agm from your boards too.

I get to come down to the store and pick mine up soon too?

And also does anyone have a template so I can make a nice overlay for my slikstik quad? I am unable to find anything anywhere and I really want to put down a cool costume layout on it.

heya,

I hope you're still checking this thread Christian.  I must say, excellent looking sticks and I'm definately after a pair from your site, definately with joysticks as they'll have to replace my T Stick Plus's.  Not sure whether to go for the blue ones or the multi coloured ones

Firstly though, am I right in thinking that these will be powered straight off the ipac4 controller I have no problems.

secondly, I like in the UK, so shipping would cost too much here, and when they add tax etc...but my parents are going to see my godparents in New York (or was it New Jersey I can't remember now - somewhere there anyways) in a week or so for a fortnight.  Would you say they'd be delivered in time for them to bring back with them, or do you have a huge backlog of demand?

dammit, I've been tryin to get this cabinet finished off and its starting to look nice now but I def need some illuminations for the cabinet :)   hmmm while I'm at it I could get some translucent pushbuttons, or one of those LED boards I've heard about..I'll have to find a source for them :)

cheers,
Tuck

Agm,

  Absolutly, you are welcome to come down and pick your order up in person, just email us at info@slikstik.com to setup a time and date.

Tboy,

  Yes, they are powered directly off of the I-Pac, nothing else needed. As for shipping them to NY or NJ so that they will have them in time, no problem. If that


Thank You

I placed an order tonight for 4 handles.  Has anyone ordered recently and can state how long it took to receive their order for these?

Not that I am impatient or anything....  :)

Christian, any chance you will ever come out with these for the Galaga/MsPacman 4-ways?

That's a Super base, so the lighted handles for the Happ Super should work perfectly in the reunion stick.  It will be taller, though.

I would stay away from the auto color cycling version of these handles if you plan to use them with an LEDWiz.  For some reason (I tried to get support from SlikStik but got no answer) the balltops don't cycle through colors correctly when hooked to an LEDWiz.  I suspect it is because the LEDWiz is doing some modulation. The LEDs/circuit used in the balltops don't like the modulation and basically just flicker mostly red all the time.  If I knew a little more about the LEDs/Circuit used to cycle the colors I could probably offer a solution.  I'll probably gut mine one day to find out what the issue is.  I'll post pics/info when I figure it out.  It isn't a priority right now though.  It will probably just require a diode and capacitor to even out the signal.  This might mess up waveforms from the LEDWiz though.  I may also just re-engineer them and put an RGB LED in the balltop so I can select my own color scheme from PowerMAME.
