We’re working with a supplier to offer two new balltops designs by end of May. One is an old favorite, while the other is quite unique. We hope that you’ll like them.

Not sure where the Emoticons went. Still getting used to the new forum. :]

Tell me about it…! Every time they revamp the Forums, you lose links to threads you want to keep your eyes on and your Trading Outlet points get wiped out…

I know I saw the Emoticons with in the past two weeks and used them. Now I can’t find any links to them!

On a more pleasant note, I’ll keep an eye out for those balltops.
Much as I like the bubbletops I’ve bought in the past, I think if and when I get an LS-58-01 (clear) for my HRAP 3 (non-universal mount), that will likely be the end of my collecting Seimitsu balltops.

Still have some meshballs I want to get in addition to seeing what your store and Paradise Arcade Shop bring out in the future.

There is product I both like or hate from both Sanwa and Seimitsu and I really don’t consider myself a fanbody anymore. Everybody releases questionable designs, has flawed product runs, or introduces something that excites most of us at times. I consider Sanwa to have better plastic colors, better microswitches in their buttons, and better balltop handles than Seimitsu. On the other hand, Seimitsu can’t be beat for variety in button styles and the joysticks are more comfortable where I’m concerned.
I do think Sanwa is over-pricing a lot of new product… Seimitsu needs to be more pro-active and introduce new product people will buy and rethink the construction of its joysticks… Seimitsu joysticks have too many screws and there’s no reason to have two designs in production that are basically the same aside from mounting issues and spring tensions (LS-56, LS-58).

And that’s the stuff I like…! I don’t want to write a thesis on WHY I despise hardware from other companies. It’s mostly a matter of comfort. I have “Japanese” hands (even though I’m NOT Japanese! LOL) and the American arcades never had comfortable controller layouts when I frequented them…

Well played GeorgeC…

still waiting for my ORDER #21656
i dond like the german customs :frowning:

2965

We’re sorry that this can happen. We sometimes get messages from international customers that haven’t yet received their shipments. Almost all the time, there is a delay in customs, or something happened in transit. We hardly ever delay a shipment - wait time is usually 1-2 days at most before an order will ship. After that, we don’t have control over what happens.

We are trying to address that, however. In May, we are utilizing a new shipping service for international packages. The service provides additional tracking, faster transport, plus faster customs clearance. We’re starting trials this week, so some customers will receive a new tracking ID with instructions to view the tracking details.

2966

that sounds good, because you sell some items, that nobody else sells in the eu, like the meshballs

Got my order of my new 40mm feet and slapped them on my controller. No more rocking when I rest my hands on the edge of the controller anymore :slight_smile: I accidentally ordered a 24mm green rim instead of a 30mm though, whoops! >:(

Super fast shipping as always my man!

On a more serious note though, when will you be getting more PS360+ in stock?

2968

I got two sets of feet, one black and one silver, the other week. Went to fit a set to my TE and was slightly confused - the supplied screws barely protrude from the feet, not even enough to screw the nuts on with the feet not attached to a baseplate.

I am an idiot at anything like this, so I may well be missing something obvious, but it seems like the screws are just too short. Have I missed something, or do I need to get a longer screw to fit through a TE’s baseplate (and, if that’s the case, what should I be looking for [in mm please - I’m in the UK])?

Any help appreciated, cheers,

2969

Yea I noticed the screws on mine were too short so I used the screws that came with my stick(I have a custom stick).

Speaking of meshballs, look for us towards June as we’re bringing them back with a tighter pattern, and all of the colors.

Glad that shipping is always fast. On the topic of PS360+, that’s something we wish was fast as well. Unfortunately, we have no control over that. Akishop owns the product and its distribution. Over two months, we routinely asked to purchase a restock, but we could not get an answer about whether it was possible to do this. After experiencing problems offering retail pre-orders to customers earlier last year, they were considering selling bulk directly to retailers. They last told us that they were inquiring with one last retailer. We didn’t hear from them since, and because they hadn’t yet allowed us to purchase restock, we ran out. We have no idea if and when we can restock until we hear from them again. You’re the 5th person to ask since we ran out this weekend.

The screws provided may or may not fit the case you’re installing it into. This is because we cannot anticipate which case the feet are used for. Each case foot comes with a silver color 8mmx3mm screw to install within your joystick case. You can also use a similar size screw (3mm width) with a nut to keep it secure if needed.

If you can purchase a longer screw with 3mm width, and possibly a nut with that, this should help. Bring the existing screws to your local hardware store and ask for a similar width, but longer and with a nut.

That sucks. It looks like Paradise Arcade Shop just got in a shipment of 250 PS360+'s

2972

That’s perfect, thanks!

2973

That is interesting - possibly an earlier arrangement - I’m not sure. We usually purchase 300pcs from Akishop, and asked about a restock when we hit 100pcs.

2974

Any idea when you will be getting more of Cerberus boards? Fully assembled ones, and do you ship to europe?

2975

We inquired with Phreakmods about restocking the Cerberus boards. He says that the boards are a few weeks out, as he has to get the boards re-assembled.

We do deliver orders to Europe via international USPS shipping.

2976

That’s nice, any idea about the shipping costs to Finland?

2977

Yeah I’m just waiting on 1 part to be delivered right now to drop off at the factory, after that give or take a couple of weeks so I can build/program/test but I’ll do my best to get a fast restock to FA when they come in.

2978

Best way to get accurate shipping quotes is to put the items you want into the cart, then click “View Cart” and choose your country from the drop-down list. Thanks!

2979

Learned what happened. Paradise just happened to request a restock in February while Akishop had remaining inventory, and just got it recently. We can still order them, but to ensure a reasonable turnaround, Akishop is requesting that we purchase double the quantity we usually budget for, and turnaround won’t be for two months because they are re-manufacturing the product again. Will keep you posted.

Any sales coming up jman? Are you guys sponsoring Norcal Regionals?
