I agree that it's worth the price. The only reason I'm not buying one is that I would like it to be completely USB-able. The entire PC industry is going USB and I have other controllers I'd like to have hooked up to my existing PS/2 inputs in any case.

: Everyone is entitled to their opinion to what is to pricey and what is a fare price. It really amazes me that there are so many oposing people who say that the SlikStik is to over priced. Before making such a statement do the math...

: 1.) Go to Happ's web site and price out everything, buttons and joysticks.
: 2.) Go to Betson Imperial web site and price out the trackball.
: 3.) Go to the OSCAR website and price out a model 1 spinner.
: 4.) Go to Ultimarc website and price out a I-Pac.

: now after all that footwork, go order everything and pay the tremendious shipping cost "that you need to pay to get these things to your house"

: Wait you thought you were done.
: 5.) go get a sheet of plywood, screws, glue formica.
: 6.) Make sure you have a router, table saw, drill, hole saw, jig saw, among other various tools.
: Now after you've done all that looking buying and so on, you can now prepare to spend "lets be reasonable" 72 hours of your time cutting, drilling, gluing, routing and WIRING, ohh i bet you will love doing that. Thats saying it comes perfect the first time, we didnt price in material for any mistakes.

: After all thats done, come and tell everyone here that all that work could have been saved for 20% over cost of the parts.
