Have you used the electric ice pushbuttons? If so how do they compare?

From the looks of your tag, that would be a monumental waste of time and money ;)

That was from before I even reviewed their product. I posted banners of sites that did good business with me and I enjoyed their products.

I've considered ordering from your site many times. You have great products and are very involved in helping everyone out and providing the best items to meet their needs.

It's nice to have guys like yourself and Andy around.

(Edit: Also, I had intended on removing that banner before posting the review. It's gone now.)

Nice words, that are appreciated.   But I wasn't looking for you to take down the banner!  Just making the comment that your exuberance for a specific vendor might give the appearance of bias when one is reading your reviews, or an eventual product comparison.  Please carry the flag for whomever you wish :)

I'm embarking on some new button products that will be a while in coming, due to the manufacturing requirements.  If you are still interested when they become available, I'll send you some samples to check out (again, it'll be a while though)

I had intended on taking down the banner once Andy decided to send me the buttons as a matter of credibility. There is no bias. Though it comes off as a glowing review, it is warranted, as it IS a great product. I did point out several issues I had with the pushbuttons and he is aware and looking at we can do to correct them.

As for reviewing other products, it's not something I'm used to, and the process of just this one review kinda burned me out on doing it again for a while. Maybe when time draws near for your new product we might exchange a message or two. ;)

Also, I removed the mention of your products in the review, as I didn't feel it was fair to compare his product to one I've not tried. To make unfounded claims about a product based on pics and word-of-mouth was not the right thing for me to do in this situation. If I haven't used them, I shouldn't comment. I hope you're understanding of this.

I have a couple extra I could send to you. I am interested to see. I have been using Randy's Electric Ice Buttons with RGB boards for awhile now. They are in almost all of my cabs (one to go).  :cheers:

I'll quote my previous message:

Thanks, but no thanks. You're also not the first to make the offer.

I'm staying out of the middle of this GGG vs Ultimarc battle, so don't expect me to add fuel to the fire ;D
