Title: Question about Online Shop
Post by: tumler on January 15, 2007, 03:42:51 pm

Hey,
I've been eyeing some very cheap leaf-micro switch joysticks,
but they come from a online store that is rarely mentioned on this forums.

Does anyone know if Competitive Products (www.competitiveproducts.com) are a good store to deal with? And if they are legit about stock like this at this price (http://www.competitiveproducts.com/list.php?parent=69)

Thanks

Edit.. Oops posted in the wrong section. I was quickly skimming the front page of the forum and it says software forum and right above it hardware.. reviews. Guess I clicked to quick. Could a mod please move this to appropriate area. sorry.

This is microswitch joy, not leaf-switch.

Dam.. the second clearly states leaf-switches.
False Advertising?

The second one on the page looks like it is a leaf switch joystick.  They even have the replacement leaf switches.  There is an 800# on their contact page and they are located in PA.  give them a call.
