Hello all! :)
Been a while since i've posted ,but i'm back. heheh
I didn't see where HAPP has any buttons or joysticks on sale at the moment and am looking for a cheaper route to go to get the stuff i need. I am building a 4 player control panel and need the usually 4 joysticks and buttons to go along with it.
Does anyone know of any company or persons offering joysticks and buttons at a good price ?
thanks ahead of time for all the help.
GROOVY~ ;)

Bob Roberts is probably about as good as you are going to get.

I agree I ordered from Bob and everything went great. You have to email your order, he emails back a confirmation and price. Then you mail him a check or money order and he mails you back your items.
Works great.

Good timing. Just came across this posting. My bob roberts order (a whole mess of buttons and lights, etc) just arrived today. Bob rules...

I looked around for the cheapest stuff a while ago and besides buying if bulk (i'm talking 5000+ here) bob roberts is probably your best bet. Ebay is the only other place that might have some stuff cheaper but it usually goes for almost the same price or is all beat up and used. Bob is also just a great nice guy to deal with.

Bob's normal price can sometimes be cheaper that Happ's specials - plus his freight charges are much better.

I've been thinking about picking up some joys and some buttons to go with the locks (other than the black start buttons). I keep getting emails from people asking if I carry them as well. I sold some NOS stuff I had, but I still get at least three email a week asking for stuff, and I've never even mentioned that I have other stuff. I can certainly undercut Happs shipping prices by a bunch.

I don't know about joysticks and buttons, but you might be able to find a caps lock key for pretty cheap these days.
