Hi All,

I bought a SlikStik about 3 weeks ago, And it's been Great!, I have been using it every night and I started to wonder, Should I try to make some enclosures and sell them on the net, So I bought all the stuff from happcontrols, Oscar Controls and Ultimarc,

After spending about 7 hours on the small 4-way joystick and spinner enclosure, I decided that the guys who make these things must be crazy, The bill for me making this thing came out to around $175.00, How the hell can these guys be making any profit?, They must be doing it just for the love of doing it.

So now, I decided to put some pictures up on my site "MameJoyStick.com" (It's really cheesy right now), and if a friend wants me to help them make an enclosure or they want a cabinet I'll be glad to help them,

But If they ever ask me let's build a JoyStick like my SlikStik, I'll tell them that it's worth buying one for $400.00, It's much cheaper that way!
