![]() No1 is gone and has been released into the wild ! and to mark the event I have a few other items to share with you all.(if you don't know what im taking about- then don't ask, as Basil would say "Don't mention the war!") First up "Vecstix" Fusion of thumbstick and traditional arcade balltop brought together to give to you greater control,and eliminates that ole Vectex finger cramp! These have been tested over the past few weeks by some fellow Vectrex players to rave response- the bottom line being it provided greater comfort allowing them to play longer and score higher.Not to mention adding unique customization. Easy to install -simply screw off old thumbstick and wack the new Vecstik on- easy! Any custom design can be incorporated be it Vectrex based or not- also the balltop can be removed and fitted to any standard Sanwa arcade joystick including that of the Vec2cade. Pretty much indestructible - I have dropped tested these not to mention bashing them with a hammer- so they will be around for a while its safe to say.    |

Also in this range the "VeXL"This thumbstick is the original thumbstick all grown up! It offers the same as above but for those looking something a little more discreet this is the one to go for. Both are also brill for any players getting on a bit and finding their dexterity isn't what it used to be.   |

Also a couple of prototypes for you cast your eyes over... The "Glo Control"Pimps the controller to the next level while maintaining the spirt of the Vectrex with a dash of Tron. And last but not least the "Vec2cade³" (Vec2cade Cubed)Again developed off the back of fellow players gripes of the discomfort and lack of stability of the original controller when things get frantic- the Vec2cade³ offers not only a stable base but support for the hand and wrist - original controller fits easily, snuggley and securely into accuracy molded cavity - the addition of the Vecstix provides users with a true analogue arcade controller, and when not on use recess is the perfect storage place for pens ,paperclips and all other stationary even cigars or frozen sausages -talk about multi purpose!    |

How much do you think you will charge for these (mostly interested in the thumbsticks)? Any plans on an US-style Glo Control?

How much do you think you will charge for these (mostly interested in the thumbsticks)? Any plans on an US-style Glo Control? Thankyou all for the positive comments! To be honest for these I hadn't really considered a price(any suggestions) I suppose I had the notion of using these as perhaps a trading currency if anyone was interested - as in make a Vecstik/Vecstix with such a such logo/wording in it in exchange for ....well whatever,as I sure most here have duplicates of stuff in their own lots- but of course I'm more than willing to sell them. And the remember balltops aren't limited to Vectrex themed stuff either - the thing I will point out is that these are extremely difficult to photograph and its hard do them justice in an image. As for the US Glo Control never say never - at the moment Im keen to do a Japanese one -just for something a little different  |

Its been a little over a months and I've long since stopped holding my breath. I think you have some good interest on these products. I personally, don't have anything to trade but would be interested in purchasing a few items if you had set prices.

Count me in. I've got nothing to trade but if you decide to sell, I'd go for one of everything pictured. These are brilliant.
