SlikStik

[gtcobra48]

I recently browsed the slikstik forum and saw a lot of posts expressing discontent with the communication, follow through and timeliness of orders. I wanted to understand from those that have dealt with them how valid this concerns are. What are the other alternatives outthere to obtaining a similar product aside from building yourself. Thanks.

I had a very postive experience with a purchase from them.  That being said, some have had problems with communication with them but most people say the end products are very good.  YMMV.

I'll second this. It took them every bit of 6 weeks to get a product out to us, but when it arrived it was well packed and was a quality product. I'm turned off by Christians attitude on the board, but the fact remains I feel the slikstik quad we ordered is a good unit.

I too have had excellent experiences w/SS... They do make top notch products.  I try not to pay too much attention to all of the "press" anyway.

good experience here, including a bit of back-and-forth communication about my highly-customized Classic unit. it came out *exactly* as i wanted it, and very well-built. good aftermarket support when i wanted to swap joystick shafts.

Good experience here too.  They were out of something that I ordered, called me within a few hours of ordering and offered me an alternative, I believe I had the products within a week.  All high-quality stuff I was very happy with.

I had a good experience with them...

They even gave me a personal phone number and assisted me when I ran into a little snag!

I've had my classic unit for over 2 years and (knock on wood) haven't had a single problem.

Highly recommended!

Bought a pair of Trackballs from SlikStik over 3 months ago, one of them suddenly failed this past weekend.

After an email, they replied the next day telling me to send it to them and they'll replace it for free no questions asked.

So far I have experienced excellent service from them.
