Did you ask for just one sample from them? They probably would have sent you two no problems, i told them i needed two. Hell I was going to buy them just wanted a total until the next day dude said they would send both as test samples for free.
Loving the carbon theme.
Carbon goes with anything!
Is it a 3D vinyl on top? It looks better than most.
Thanks Gummy Bear. It's not a print, it's actually really thin woven carbon fiber that's adhesive backed. It was ordered as a vehicle wrap and it has a 6 or 9 year warranty, I forget which, so it has a really high tolerance to heat and sun fade. Obviously that's not important for my joysticks, but it's just to give you an idea of how durable it is.
I only got one enclosure also, but I just filled out the online request and it said they usually give just one sample, but I was still happy. There's not a lot of businesses that run like that anymore, with real customer service, samples, ...
I actually had a co worker order one for me also and I just got it Monday. Painted it yesterday and added overlay and buttons today. Still waiting on my joystick and breakout board though. Here's a rough shot of it with the ball top just sitting in the hole cut out for the joystick next to the other one.

ok... trolling you is way too easy. Btw. I help/support people, from time to time... but whatever, I guess the few posts you've seen me make since you came back determine all I am. And you definitely know all about this place and (humourous) shit talk... right?Posting trash and derisive drivel doesn't count, son. Quality, not quantity. You spend your time trying to pull down the creations and choices of others and trying to show how big your e-dick is. I was here, consolizing shit, creating, helping while you were still in Prick School.

Good. Keep it up.Btw. I help/support people, from time to time...

@blake: another nice job. "Inverting" the color scheme between P1 and P2 sticks is a real nice idea, good look.
Thanks xsq, I'm looking forward to getting the rest of the stuff to finish it up. I'm happy with the final product, simple with just enough color to get a little attention.
Well thats weird, it must be because alot of people have been contacting them and wanting free samples lol. Anyway blake wow bro, i freakin love the sticks really! Very nicely done colors are just amazing. Makes mine look rather boring lol. Did you come up with a plan on how to cut out the db hole on the 2nd stick? If you need any help/ advise hit me up man no worries.
Thanks MCF76, I actually tried to do it like you suggested and it was coming out nicely with the sand paper over the end of the cable. I think u would have been proud, lol. Then I tried to put the male end of the cable through the hole and it didn't fit because it's not the same shape.
So I tried using my dremel to widen it but the shape isn't as smooth looking as it was at first. Once my new breakout board arrives I'll be able to check the fit better and finish up the bottom half of the case and I'll add a pic of it. I don't know if you'd be interested or not but if you want I could cut and send you a piece of the carbon fiber for your sticks. They look great already but if you want to give it a little something extra let me know. It keeps the look really simple but everyone who saw my sticks in person raved about the carbon overlay, it's a nice subtle touch.
If this wasn't sarcasm, we could get along just fine.Yeah I've noticed an appreciable increase in (oh so humorous) intolerance and assholery since I've been back.
Maybe I should get with the n00b bashing and detracting from peoples creative efforts. Cos it's funny.

My breakout board arrived yesterday so I put it in last night. Still not as good as yours but much better than the first. Thanks again MCF76 for the tips, they were very helpful. Did you add any weights to your sticks? that's the one thing I feel would finish off the project. Not really sure what I should use.

blake that looks just fine bro nice job man. Nah I haven't added any extra weights to mine. I think they are about the perfect weight for me. But I did add alot of extra parts making the DB mounting btacket so that did help. They feel slightly heavier than an original AES stick.
If you are wanting to add some weights I would use those sticky backed wheel weights. The one's used to balance tires lol. Seems weird but that way you don't half to drill anymore holes in the enclosure's for mounting them.
That's actually a really good idea for the weights, never thought of that. They would probably be easy to make it look nice and neat on the inside. How's the new cmvs coming along? Its gonna be bad ass.
