They seem to have some good prices and I'm going to be starting my first project soon.
Anyone ever buy from here and know how they are?
-
I just bought a joystick off them on eBay. It came quicker than I expected. I'd buy from them again.

Hahaha that's pretty awesome! What joystick did you buy? I'll be picking up a set of like 8 hap buttons and i'm trying to decide on the joystick, i'm thinking I might get the 4/8 way red ball Zippy joystick.

I bought the Happ 4-Way Ms. Pac-Man/Galaga Replacement Joystick and am happy with it. I was expecting it Saturday, and it came Thursday. This was shipped cross-country, as well.
I have a Zippy 8-4-2-Way I lent to a friend. I don't miss it. ;D
-
I like the zippyy as a dedicated 4 way. Wouldn't use it as my 8 way. In all honesty, i think it is better built than Happ/il sticks.
-
I just bought a zippy and the microswitches were crap. Big waste of 10 bucks.
-
Yeah, I actually met up with the guy who runs it in person last week and bought a few small parts. Looks like he's got a bustling business going on. He went out of his way so I could save a few bucks on shipping, so thumbs up there...
-
Buy the zippyy from GGG and get the soft touch switches. Very good
-
Okay, so I'd like a ball stick, should I go with that Zippy with the http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65&products_id=371 (http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65&products_id=371) smooth joy switches?
Or would there be a much better quality buy with something else?
-
Those are the switches I was referring to. Are there better stcks? Yes. Are there better sticks for $10? Not many.
-
I bought a zippy and I thought my keyboard PCB was acting up. It turned out that two of the microswitches worked about 99.95% of the time. Out it went.
-
What would your opinion be for a good ball joystick for 10-20$?
if not any, would I just be better off with a normal joystick like the happ ultimate (or something of the sort)?
-
I would not recommend the Happ Ultimate. A decent American style joystick would be the IL Eurostick, Happ Competition, or the Happ Super. A good balltop Japanese style is the Sanwa JLW. What will you be using it for?

Yeah, I was just throwing that name out there because I didn't know the name of that style of joystick :P
BUT!
I will be using this on a bartop arcade system to play many different games.
-
I always think that bat top joysticks look to tall in bartop builds...I dunno, maybe if you mount them below the panel to shorten them.
-
So yes, I would go with a ball top joystick : )
What are the top ball tops out there? One's relatively cheaper.
-
I have and got what I wanted for a great price. Shipping was also way faster than I anticipated. Would definitely buy from them again.
