Ponyboy, are these a direct fit for the Candy style cabinets? If you don't know, then could you possibly measure the distance between those mounting holes so I can compare them to the ones on my cabinet now?

Any chance the shaft is hollow?

ponyboy · « **Reply #4 on:** May 18, 2005, 04:32:30 pm »

The shaft is not hollow.

I will post a pic of the bottom tonight.

Here's my take on the sticks

The stick is a pretty good performer. It is right in between a Sanwa and a Seimitsu stick. It is a nice stick with good action in 8 way mode. I'm not crazy about the restrictor plate, but each stick is engineered its own way.
The stick is not suitable in 4way mode at all (sorry). The corners are not well enough defined and it makes 4way games feel like you are playing it with an 8way (miss corners).
The feel of the stick is the same as a Ultimarc J-Stick (manuafactured by Sanwa) but it a bit tighter in the spring back to center than the traditional Sanwa. I found that in a heated match of Guilty Gear XX that I prefered the stick over the stock NOAMI stick (again Sanwa) because of the spring back to center tension. The switches are a bit clicky and you cannot swap them out. The balltop is swapable with Seimitsu, Sanwa, and Zippy balltops and the shafts are nearly identical. The fact that it comes with the wiring harness is a HUGE plus. A lesser quality harness is available from Himura games for $9. I took the joystick completely apart in hopes of figuring out a way to rig it to be a lit translucent as that would sell big +. Unfortunately I couldn't come up with a practical way to do it, With that said it far better than any other ball top japanese style stick priced under $20 USD and no too far from competing with the big boys IMHO.

you're such a pic tease!

any chance the buttons can come individually, or at least in a separate kit from the joys?

thanks Ponyboy!

Hey Pony how do those buttons compare to the Happs in feel and such?

They are the same buttons. Ponyboy is offering these as a package deal with his translucent joysticks and I am offering them on an idividual order basis.

Either way it means bling bling for the community.

This would be pretty slick with a CP made completely out of out lexan. I'm considering doing it just for the heck of it.

AmericanDemon · « **Reply #22 on:** June 09, 2005, 06:45:52 pm »

Alan you read my mind. I was thinking of making some console sticks out of this and supplement them with a power source. Potentially throw in a cold cathode for added effect.

lseelba · « **Reply #23 on:** June 10, 2005, 04:15:37 am »

How much for just a stick? I'm not interested in the buttons. I have some Korean illuminated buttons I'm looking at getting.

Goz · « **Reply #24 on:** June 14, 2005, 10:25:51 am »

Bump for a good seller and a good product.

These joys are pretty nice for the price. They are similar to the Sanwa / Seimitsu sticks and the ball is replaceble with a Sanwa solid color if you don't like the translucent balltop. The fact that these come with wiring harness that are interchangeable with Sanwa is a plus as you cant buy a premade harness for this style joy for under $9 anywhere.

AlanS17 · « **Reply #25 on:** June 14, 2005, 10:29:46 am »

How do the buttons look when installed and NOT lit? I don't have the patience to light them.

Same as Shawnzilla's by what I read a couple of posts towards the top.

The "harness" is a 5 pin female header with some wires, you can BYO for less than a dollar. I don't see why you would buy one anyways when it's so simple to make. And by the way, great sticks, I just didnt care much for the 4 way.

ponyboy · « **Reply #28 on:** June 15, 2005, 01:25:31 pm »

Sorry Cholin but I am selling them for $5.00 each if anyone is interested. Like Gozur said, they will work with Sanwa and Seimitsu Joysticks.

Thanks,

Ponyboy

In case people didn't notice there are translucent microswitch buttons to be found here.

Haha, kind of, I have been away from the scene until just recently when I got a new cab to mame! And these look awesome to use!

Scoobie · « **Reply #34 on:** June 22, 2005, 03:53:43 pm »

Any chance these sticks would work with a T-stick Plus?

This question makes no sense.

If you mean do they mount the same, then the answer is yes.

If you meant do they work with as asked... then the simple answer is yes.

I will have clear buttons available tomorrow.

Hey do you sell the buttons separately? I was looking at going through shawnzilla as someone had suggested but he is sold out of clears and wont have microswitches for what he has for a week or so.
