Got my PS360+ and it worked with my Crossbone mod for my Jasen’s Customs Korean stick! Thank you!

Oh yeah will you have any new stuff from Crown? I saw them testing around a new lever (CWL-307ST) with different tension material and a new button (CWB-207H).

A fellow K stick user lol. I saw on that stick it had a somewhat clear bat top on it…by chance do you know how to get a hold of one of those…? And looking at the new buttons…would those fit in a standard 30mm button hole… Looks like it would with that fastening nut but I’m not sure…

from he looks of it, it has a 30mm hole adapter/spacer.

really interested in these buttons now too haha.

Have you seen the vids on YouTube of them testing the new crown stick @hibachifinal ?

Bryan is off doing “Doctor Stuff” today… so he asked me to post the pricing of the balltops. A product this cool needs something a little more than fancy graphics… enjoy

Nothing like a Money Ball posted from Vegas…

[Laban]

I was thinking of putting on the Money Ball when I’m exclusively doing money matches. Implying anyone would money match me in KOF98…

The aluminum 1.0MM over-sized JLF actuators are out of stock. Any idea when you should have them in stock once again?

[armi0024]

Going to buy a Hrap to test, but if it’s common ground it should work.

I will check on the aluminum actuators

[armi0024]

You can now buy Jasen’s balls!

Hey, what’s the difference between:
0.5mm Oversized JLF Actuator Model 758
0.5mm Oversized JLF Delrin Actuator - Black Model 978
Just the material it’s made out of?

[NENDO]

Awesome balltops guys! Picked one up for a special project

[Reiraku]

Happy dash cancel day, everyone!

I got two of those balls and plans already formulating.

[armi0024]

@Kensho Yes, one is aluminum, the other delrin.
@NENDO ty
@Reiraku ty

Dash Cancel day is still going, Ball Tops selling FAST

[DarkCat]

Are the briarwood and burl balltops actually made from wood? 15 bucks is hella cheap if so.

Don’t really care; I bought two already because they look awesome. I’m just wondering.

[slaycruz]

They are normal balltops but wrapped with the design then clearcoated to seal and protect @DarkCat … I had to get the snakeskin one myself

[Laban]

@Kensho Yes, one is aluminum, the other delrin.
@NENDO ty

Sounds like everyone wants Jasen’s balls!

[JRDIBBS]

I took advantage of the free shipping and got one of Jasen’s balls along with a Kaimana Kit and extra buttons. @armi0024 and @“Jasen Hicks” Awesome collab guys! Now about that giveaway… what are the rules?

[kryton73]

Bryan, will you have a PS4 compatible LVT3 available in the near future? If not, would you at least consider making/offering a harness to connect between the TE2 PCB 16-pin button connector and the Kaimana. Also, a harness to connect between the TE2 PCB 3-pin connector and the Kaimana for power and ground would be really helpful.

[Agieze]

Haha Phantomnaut , got a question? We’ll work on it.

New announcement:

This looks like an interesting application of hydrographics coming straight from the custom bike & car world , I was wondering when this would hit the custom joystick scene, I mean I didn’t see any homemade hydrographics enhanced joystick cases, it’s probably going to follow up soon enough (especially a rounded one-piece designed case top that would have a decal applied on it uniformly without any cuts or form of “interruption” , which is actually possible with water transfers and not with standard decals) . I guess there are industrially produced gamepads with “carbon fiber” and one or two other basic graphics and possibly joystick balltops (never saw the sanwa “cf” other than photos but it looks like a water transfer)

Too bad the snakeskin looks pixellated big time and washed out, a bit like 80’s newspaper comicbook quality which doesn’t seem to affect as badly the marbleized balls although upon closer inspection of the promo shoots, the pixels are quite big as well and reveal a low to medium resolution scanned texture.
It wouldn’t be too hard to find some free-of-rights high def graphics of reptile skin and watertransferring them on balltops to obtain a consistant quality, that is if the guy has his own virgin decals to print, we have no clue if he orders themfrom a specialized company and dips the balltops himself or if he does everything on his own.
Good idea though,I was kind of fed up seeing those poorly painted balltops coated in poly, watertransfer is more consistant even if it is possible to completely miss the dip sometimes and start again from scratch. You just need to go for high def and forget about these low resolution pixellated textures.

I just got a stick and some buttons from Paradise. The order came in fast and was cheaper than ordering from Suzo-Happ (competition stick) but they somewhat let me down because they didn’t have convex competition buttons. Only concave ones
