I just got mine today “late xmas gift”, installed it in about 5-10 min and fell in love instantly. It’s easily the best thing ever and would definitely get them for future sticks.
I got mine and installed it today, and it works great. I have noticed the enhanced deadzone, but it is quite subtle. I’m not having any issues with executing IAD’s, DP’s, or half circles or anything else.
Glad to see you’re coming out, UFGT is going to be huge this year I can’t wait. It’ll come at a good time too, I should be more prepared this year than last in terms of being a vendor/modder.
With any luck, Rosser and I can come up with something and make the color options come to life for everyone, which would be good to showcase there.
Thanks for the kind words, I’m really glad you like it. Tell your friends!
Glad to hear the deadzone increase isn’t bothersome too much. I hope to get to fixing that in the near future.
Maybe this is just me…but I haven’t really been having any deadzone problems, more so than any other stick…
Just installed mine. It feels really nice, and was easy to set up. Also wanted to confirm that a 24mm plug works perfectly to cover the hole when you have The Link off (using it on an SE).
I have some deadzone problems too. When I switched back to the stock shaft, the problems went away. I’m also using Toodles’ Spark though.
the deadzone thing worries me and also there is a “revision b” already… i live in europe and is very interested… but would cost me quite a bit to import atm and that is why i dont want something that you keep on updateing…
should i wait for next update or?..
There aren’t constant updates, the majority of issues have already been addressed since the initial release of pre-order units. The only item to be taken care of left is that enhanced deadzone, which most customers who even notice it get used to in about an hour of play or switch out springs to help it. While it’s true that there is an update planned, it’s only an update on the base piece, and there is no ETA on it. When it is available, it will be a separate base piece users can buy for a very inexpensive update/upgrade without needing to buy everything over again.
Yamato and Bencao74 each just brought a bunch of Links over to Europe, you should contact them if you want to avoid a lot of the taxes and fees.
edit:
shoot Yamato an email here: valentin.lormeau(at)gmail.com
I’ll probably put that in the OP for other international orders that might want to avoid the extra fees.
thx for information i will contact yamato asap =)
Siiiiiigh.
After even resorting to asking help from a politician who’s friends with my father and who had easier access to the army (disturbing that I had to do this, I know) and could ask them to look into this, and this even involved people in Brasília (the country’s capital), today I finally got an e-mail saying that the package has been destroyed “because it didn’t have an import certificate” (weapon-related). It’s particularly enfuriating because the telegram said I had 60 days to set things right, which turned out to be a lie (today’s the 46th day since the telegram was delivered to my residence). 
This set of events has been incredibly disheartening. Quite a bit of worry and effort down the toilet.
PM me with your information, we’ll work something out. I don’t want you to have gone through all that for nothing. It sucks that it happened, it didn’t even occur to me that the pieces could be taken as parts of a weapon.
OK, running a contest this weekend. I fully expect all my TT buddies to be in on this one, you guys should have some pretty good responses

haha I’ll probably come up with a better one but the one I posted made sense… fun contest brother!
I already have two links, and access to painting my own, so really i just wanted to say congrats to you, for your personal relationship and for you excellent product!
Has anyone tried to do a LED balltop mod with this yet? I’m interested in getting one of these, but I’m rather confused on how an LED mod would work without having to disconnect and reconnect the LED wires constantly if I was going to take the shaft off.
I haven’t done it myself, but I’ve heard some people were talking about using a 2.5mm or 3.5mm headphone-style stereo plug setup…
Ducky and Gummo both have an LED setup with their Link. They basically put the LED in the center where the pieces come together and the light travels up the top shaft through the balltop. I would expound but iI hate posting from my phone lol
Get back to yer honeymoon!
If anyone could provide pics or video whenever they get a chance I’d appreciate it.
Now go home and be a family man!
