Title: Happ Com Sticks and Hardware
Post by: WhereEaglesDare on May 09, 2010, 01:22:41 pm: If I buy Happ Comp Sticks from GGG, do they come with the hardware?

Or do I need to buy it separate?

Those are for trackballs.

If you are mounting sticks onto wood, skip the carriage bolts and look at the method which uses these (http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=70&products_id=317).

When installed correctly, these things work great. It's not just RandyT pimping his own stuff, these are awesome.
