I think these things look...well... "slik" :P I would probably be in the market for 5 of them depending on price --- End quote --- i also second the idea of making it longer if possible. but if the price is right, i'll get a couple. |

Wow, They look very nice indeed. As some of the previous posters said, I'll buy some but only if the price is right.... As you're now in the business of manufacturing handles I have a few suggestions: 1. How about a solid stainless steel balltop handle for the older games? 2. Why not manufacture a stainless steel shaft with a screw top. The shaft could then be supplied with different handles made of plastic (ball, bat, different colours etc) and people could swap handles depending upon which game they were playing. 3. I would very much like it if someone manufactured a ball top handle for the IL/Ultimarc T-Stik. You could probably manufacture a handle that would fit the T-Stik and the Super/Competition. All these joysticks are made by the same manufacturer and have a 1cm diameter shaft. All you'd basically need to do would be to add some extra grooves at positions suitable for the T-Stik. 4. As someone else mentioned most home builders mount their joysticks in wood and generally the Supers and Competitions are a little short without routing. Therefore make sure that your handles are slightly taller than the Happ ones. |

Glad you asked about that, those are also in the works. We are shooting for a solid stainless steel ball top joystick, there is no ETA but it is in the works. 2. Why not manufacture a stainless steel shaft with a screw top. The shaft could then be supplied with different handles made of plastic (ball, bat, different colours etc) and people could swap handles depending upon which game they were playing. That was also a possibility, the handles actually started out as threaded rods with tapped bats, but they did come loose after a fair amount of game play. We opted to go with a solid handle this time around because of the seamless look and feel. 3. I would very much like it if someone manufactured a ball top handle for the IL/Ultimarc T-Stik.
