Nice to see other colors besides the blue balls I already have.
Very nice randy. What's the retail on those? More to the point, what would be the price of 4 of these with UK shipping?

no pale blue for joust though... :'(
Overseas shipping with heavier parts is sometimes costly. These aren't too heavy, but multiples are likely to add up. They can be put in a padded envelope and sent First Class International, which is a pretty economical way to do it. Actual shipping costs will have to wait until they are in the store and you are able to get a real-time quote from the USPS.
I haven't really fixed the pricing on these yet, but due to the expense of the specialized inserts, and the fact that they are so hard that they wreak havoc on drill bits, it looks like it will break down as:
$5.95 each for the solid colors
$6.95 each for the translucents
Any chance of making a purple one?
Need to finish my tmnt control panel.
Any pictures of the Diffuse UV Reactive Blue Translucent under some UV light? I assume that it glows?
When is GGG going to start selling the Electric Ice Lighted Joysticks?
Also expect to see these shown as options in future products.
GroovyGameGear.com will soon offer it's own 49-way unit. It will be based on the opto-mechanics of the HAPP/Midway sticks, but with a number of custom parts designed specifically for the home arcade enthusiast and GP-Wiz49 interface. Did we mention it will also have a ball top?

Cheers Randy. The prices seem very reasonable and hopefully that will translate well enough to get them to the UK for a good price as last time I ordered I got stung with customs charges.
FYI Randy I've now found out that anything over £35 in value will be subject to VAT @ 15% when it arrives in the UK so may I suggest declaring the package value at cost price rather than retail to help us brits out and maybe encourage a few more to consider US->UK orders. ;D
I dont know how popular it would be, but I would like a clear smoked ball top for a controller Im building. So that it would look tinted black when not lit, but then be able to light up with an LED.
Damn Randy - my wife is already unhappy with the amount of money I've spent on the arcade...and now this. I was looking for these months ago!
I assume these balltops will fit the standard U360 shaft?
FYI Randy I've now found out that anything over £35 in value will be subject to VAT @ 15% when it arrives in the UKVat is no problem, you get it refunded as business. Import tax is the only thing that you really have to pay for. And that limit went up quite a bit for the EU.
Isn't that illegal, unless it is for personal use?
Why not make these in bat tops as well? No one really has done it so you could be the first!
those are some nice balls, especially the black one

Your sick! :laugh2:
They are nice though... ;D
These look great, I was wondering does the diffuse translucent red look nice lit with a red led?
.....
A suggestion I have would be "white" 6mm balltops (like the ones used on your rgb led balltops) for those fiddling with jlf/u360 led mods. Just bought my first ledwiz by the way, can't wait to see what it can do.
Now PLEASE just make a longer shaft for my u360!
Now PLEASE just make a longer shaft for my u360! that's 3/4 of an inch more then the stock shaft. These balls fit the u360 right ?? also my Wico ball tops seem larger then my current u360 ball top.. Randy are yours the same size as the standard wico ball tops ?
i suppose your right... but andy does offer a 10mm longer shaft which isn't long enough, at least not for me on my wood panel.
These balls were waiting on my stock of inserts to arrive. They did and then I considered re-purposing them
I'll get these on the site very shortly. They aren't doing me any good sitting on my shelves.

I would love to know when your balls are going to go on sale.

That's usually a last resort... :angel:
But seriously...when are these going to be available?
I would also like to know, what kind of business ignores potential customers? I have written in this forum and also sent a sales question to groovy game gear and gotten no response in either case; nor has anyone else who has posted to this topic. It would be really nice if we could get some kind of answer. Thank you.

It looks like the balls are to be re-purposed. They will be available as an option on an upcoming product. They may or may not be available as a separate item after the introduction of the product(s) which use them. I will make the determination at that time.
RandyT
If so, can you let us know where you got them so that we can at least try to procure them? I'd be happy to buy them from you but if you're not selling, maybe you can at least do us a favor and put is in touch with whoever is ...
I have four of the translucent blue balls that I bought from Randy a while back if anyone is interested. They are solid balls at the moment but I could drill/tap them or make some threaded inserts to suit any threaded stick.
I could potentially make some shafts for them too to fit a particular joystick.
Those are really nice looking! My future DK cab might get that treatment
