I'm in. I'm not too worried about the performance. |

Well Stainless Steel buttons are out of the question, cost would be way out of line for a hobby purpose. BUT...... We are working on trying to get some buttons spray chromed like the type of plastic chroming you see in automotive applications, we just started researching it so we will keep you posted, probably have an answer early next week. I think we are going to have to get a big batch done to get the price down, and we want to make sure that they will hold up so we might have to have a few in house Street Fighter tourneys to put them through some testing. Yes, these handles are going to use either a plastic or brass sleeve to make the difference up in the size of the shafts, so you will be able to use whatever handle you want on any of the joysticks by changing the sleeve, thats the detail we are still working out, hence the two weeks till they are available. We thought of a Stainless Steel trackball, but we are pretty sure it will be too heavy and too slippery when it is up against the steel rollers in the trackball. Believe it or not, because of the extra weight of this stick, it FEELS so much better in a competition joystick, and in the Optical 360 as well because the Opticals have very strong springs, and feel is everything.

I was thinking that a nice set of steel buttons would make for a great addition... however... I think it would be even better to make tron-like plastic translucent blue sticks, and clear-red (or assorted colors) buttons that all can be lit via superbright leds or simular. Hmm - maybe just make them all clear plasic... and leds under can light them to any color desired. You could even go so far as to make color-cycling controls! : ) |

I'll take a couple for my controller when they're available. I didn't route out my CP and that extra length would be welcome. Are you going to throw in a couple snap on washer things at the bottom in addition to the sleeves? --- Quote ---Our handles will be 1/4" higher than the Happ original sticks, compensating for people using 3/4" panels. --- End quote --- |

I will agree that the look of this product is absolutely outstanding. The handles will sell very well based on that merit alone. But, 'they will improve game play by 25% - 50%' ??!! What the heck is that supposed to mean? They feel 25% - 50% better? That's a very subjective thing. They will increase scores by 25% - 50%? I don't think so! Thanks for being an innovator in this industry by designing and selling nice looking, reliable products and backing them up with good service. This alone will cement your place in the do-it-yourself MAME community without having to resorting to some ridiculous infomercial-like marketing claims. |
