SlikStik illuminated joysticks
« on: March 29, 2007, 04:44:43 pm »
Hey all,

Two questions with the SlikStick Illuminated Ball Top Handles

1.  They come in 8 Colors.  Are they colored similarly when turned off or are they white-ish?
2.  Has anyone fitted one of these bad boys on an Ultimarc 360?

Thanks!

The ball tops are opaque when turned off.  You can dye them with clothing dye.  It fades a bit over time but works pretty well.

I have four and love them.  I also have the Nova-gems from GGG and the combo looks good.  Some don't like Slikstik but the product is very good.  I would buy them again.  My two cents.

Don't think they can work with the u360 because of the base of the joystick.  If someone can do it I be inline to buy some.

I was hoping they fit in the u360s so I could pair them up with the GGG merchandise.  Seems like a match made in heaven.  Ohhhh RAAANNNNDDDYYYYYYYyyyy... :)

  :dunno Randy and GGG don't make either the balltops OR the U360.  What's Randy supposed to do?  :dunno

And no, there's no way to mate these to a U360.  The plug for the balltop lighting is in precicely the place where the magnet needs to be on the U360.

I was insinuating that maybe he could come up with a clever add-on handle for the u360s.  They seem to be pretty popular now that various front ends auto-map the controls.  Can't shame a guy for wanting lightup handles AND automapped controls can ya ;)

I suppose given current options, I would try to find a white balltop for the u360 and see what happens in the land of lightup tops.  Thanks for the info!
