Post by: Yourname942 on February 18, 2013, 10:24:44 pm

Does anyone know where to buy a RGB joystick?

kinda like this:
LED Wiz Prototype Joystick Test (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59DbjMqlcOM#)

Or know how to modify/make one?

Thanks.

Randy posted this in the review thread mentioned in the video, if you're looking specifically for the Electric ICE finish.

I've posted this on the forums before, but I'll do it again here;

You can build your own, with parts we can sell you.  Just order the Stainless VersaBall shafts (these are hollow) and state in the comments that you want Electric ICE balltops.  The price is the same.

Also order the SlipWire part for your wiring.  We will throw in the RGB LED and resistors.  Put it all together with your favorite Super or Competition joystick base and you will have the nicest RGB Balltop available.

There are also other options to consider at Paradise (http://www.paradisearcadeshop.com/) and other vendors.

Is there a specific joystick you prefer to base it off or specific features like 4/8 way switching you are looking for?

By that do you mean 8-way joysticks for 4-players or 4/8-way switchable?   :dizzy:   :banghead:

The more clearly you communicate what you're looking for, the more likely you are to find exactly what you want.

Do you want:

Motorized 4/8 switching  Y/N/Doesn't matter

Above panel switching  Y/N/Doesn't matter

Below panel toolless switching  Y/N/Doesn't matter

Below panel switching w. tools  Y/N/Doesn't matter

Preferred type of joystick?   ________________/Doesn't matter

Commonly played game genres?   ________________ (Fighters, SHMUPS, etc.)

Other:____________________________
