I doubt it.. I get the impression that Quasicade realizes that the analog sticks are the only thing that differentiates them from the dozens of other CP builders, and wont' sell them seperately under any circumstances.

That's just speculation of course, and I hope I'm wrong... but its the feeling I get.

You may be right, but the kind of people who buy just the parts aren't the same kind of people who are going to buy a whole cab or CP from them anyway.   If you're dropping $4,000 on one of their machines, you're probably not interested in building your own.

I guess they could be concerned that other cab manufacturers will buy them in bulk and mass produce cabs/CPs with them as well, but selling a small handful of them individually would only add to their coffers IMO.

But yeah, who knows.

yeah... which I also don't envision them selling seperate anytime soon.

Regardless of whether or not we are their target customers, if they sell them seperately, any company can put them into a CP.  That's why, IMHO, they won't do it.

Well, they could but they would have to put it at a price point where it isn't worth it for another company to buy amd make a control panel around them.  But this also means that it will probably be out of reach for a DIYer too.
