35 mm balltop?

the anodized balls are 35mm, and have a small recess for the shaft covers…

Quick question: Will you also make matching shaft covers and the like for the previous 4 battop colors? I honestly detest Sanwa’s tint of yellow in their clear shaft cover and dustwasher series.

Yes, we will be doing a full anodized line, adding even more colors and products.
We have a very limited number of button caps coming in for OBSC buttons that would allow you to have anodized button caps also.

This is a new diecasting company we are working with and after the initial mold purchase the cost of production is quite reasonable so please make suggestions and expect to see some new fun stuff in the months to come.

Next 20 people to respond to our thread will get two silent foam pads (2 different materials and thicknesses) for free. We will then email a link to a survey 1 week after the silent foam is sent, if you fill the survey out, we will send another 7 of the silent pad you prefer for free.

Just placed an order for some of your aluminum bat tops, then I come here and see you will be making aluminum balltops as well.
Y u no tell me before!!
Any word on when the balltops will be available? I want to get them nao!!
Also is there any chance you can sell those threaded bat top adapters separately? I cant seem to find them anywhere.

That sounds like something I’d love to help out with, as I’ve been keeping an eye on the silent pad situation, but I suspect that living in the UK would put me out of the running.

Nevertheless, I’ll await the results with interest…

I’m in please. Every button I buy now are the silent sanwas. Cheaper alternative would be great.

I’m in for the pads! I was looking at buying silent sanwas but didn’t like any of the style cause I’m trying to do an LED mod. The pads would be perfect :slight_smile:

I’d be more likely to get the pads, myself, rather than buy new silent buttons.

I use both Sanwa and Seimitsu buttons. A dual-manufacturer compatible button pad would be perfect for me. IF it could fit the 30mm buttons (24mm buttons get used so little already what’s the point unless you play with a modded CPS Fighter stick and there are a lot fewer of those out there than all the retro sticks modded with 30mm buttons) of both Sanwa and Seimitsu (those different style buttons with PS-14D and PS-14-G microswitches), I could see myself getting a few. I already know a silent Zippy is in my future…

I can also see myself buying at least two of the anodized ball tops, too.
Paradise Shop may become the shop for me to fuel my balltop handle addiction in the near future…

Count me in too!

this sound awesome, i can’t wait to see how it turns out to be!

this version does not have the LED mod, but we can include the ones we send out for responding to the survey
We will also have a Sanwa and a Seimitsu version, this is the Sanwa version, Seimitsu needs a little tweaking then we will offer the same thing

I’d like to get in on this.

I’m interested in testing out the silent foam pads

sign me up for the silencer testing :smiley:

I’d like to participate as well. Sign me up!

You can LED mod any silent button with Pele LEDs… however we are sold out and waiting for the new stock to arrive.

I used to think having these foam inserts inside a button was a silly novelty-only idea, but I now know better. Trying to play at night when other people are sleeping is HARD. I’m in! I’d definitely like to contribute to this research on silent buttons.

I’ll help test. =)
