Title: U360 balltop
Post by: neohusky on August 02, 2011, 11:32:05 pm: Hi all

I'm just waiting to receive my new U360s are the valorous generally universal. I'd like to change the factory red with these:

Are they compatible?

Let me know how you go as I also want to change the ball top because I am aiming to make an illuminated ball top.... :)

Post by: bgmagic on August 04, 2011, 09:52:23 am: I ordered 4 different color Hard Candy balltops from GroovyGameGear. They are 6mm. I have a U360 and when I tried to put them on they started to screw on and I couldnt get them more than 25% of the way on. When I look at the threads of the original ball and the Hard Candy balls they look the same but the Hard Candy ones almost look like they taper inwards as you look down the hole. I wanted to know if anyone has any idea on this? My plan was to get 4 J-stiks (same shaft as U360) and use the Hard Candy balls (need Red, Blue, Yellow, Green). If anyone has another idea on getting 4 switchable 4/8 way joys with those colored balls please let me know.
