Armi,
Are these LEDs rated for 5v or do they need resistors to limit current? I'd hate to smoke one.

Current limiting, I'll check on the 5 volt resistance Tuesday or Wednesday...

Is there an ETA on a "Short JLW RGB Shaft Kit w/ Slip Ring"?
I'm about 2 weeks away from needing to decide if I'm going to cut my panel for my current JLFs or if I should cut it for JLWs, I'll only cut JLWs if I can have the same lighting options I have with my JLFs, which means my desire to buy a certain new model of JLW pretty much depends on whether or not you intend to stock hollow JLW shafts again. ;D If you tell me that you are going to be stocking them, I'll trust you, and buy the JLWs, and live without the lighting until you have them available, but if you say you are not going to bother with it, I can forget about the JLWs. (my whole panel is about lighting and not having lighted joysticks is a deal breaker). I can wait for you to stock them if I know it's a sure thing, but since you're the only source, the buck stops with you. Only you know if they will ever be available again.

Haha I know exactly which "certain new model" you're referring to... :cheers: But I think it serves best to be direct here. Andy's product is going to spark an interest in JLW's so I think Bryan will enjoy a related spike in interest in JLW hollow shafts... There's likely several people on this board interested in both auto-switching 4-to-8-way sticks and lighting 'em up. I think Andy's product is good for Bryan, and should encourage him to have some JLW shafts made.
Now, I'm sitting on two mag-stik pluses still in the boxes and hollow shafts to match, and now I have to decide if I want to stick with those or switch to Andy's sticks.... I have so little free time though I doubt I'll even get to my CP rebuild until next year... :(

JLW's hollow shafts will become available in the next 1-2 months
2/4/8 way autoswitching joystick in the next 6, We have a nice prototype but we are focusing efforts on 4 other products before we release this.
