No posts from him since ... august? Something like that. I'd move on if I were you. Slikstik makes nice spinners. You can't go wrong with them.

I keep hoping he starts selling his spinners as kits.  This should make it so he can handle everything even with his new job responsibilities.

Or heck, have someone handle orders and putting them together for him.   

Sure he wouldn't make as much money, but it would make a lot of people happy.

I personally think the loose of prehacked mice is a lot worse then the spinners.  There are other solutions, but a good $13 hacked mouse is very useful.

That's the lightest of the models. I'm actually looking for something with a little more mass behind it. Thanks for the backdoor link, though.

SlikStik may be the way I need to go. It does seem to be a very good spinner, but I did have my heart set on the Vortex spinner that closely resembled the Tempest spinner.

Has anyone emailed Kelsey to see if he has any plans to reopen? To see if real life has gotten any calmer?

He's a good guy, I'm sad I never got to meet him at a super auction.

I met him a few years ago.  Really nice guy.

Delta88, have you seen him recently?

I have metal panels with pre-drilled holes for two V2 spinners, but no way to get them. I really do hope he comes back...
