New Video Review: SlikStik Stainless Steel Joystick Handles
SirPoonga:
slikstik should anodize those.
AlanS17:
I don't think you can anodize anything other than aluminum. I've never heard of anodized steel.

Correct. Anodizing is exclusive to aluminum alloys only. It is the chemical process of growing a layer of aluminum oxide on the surface of the aluminum alloy. Steel and other ferrous alloys are electroplated, not anodized.
rockhopper:
Stainless steel can also be electropolished, which is similar to anodizing (but different than electroplating) but this will result in an extremely smooth and shiny surface, and not change the colour which is what SirPoonga was probably getting at (?)
Maybe they could be machined from aluminium instead, which will not only give a lighter feel, but will then allow for anodizing as well.
SirPoonga:
I was getting at getting sifferent colored ones.
