They look great and make artswaps super easy.
Anyone interested? I'm tempted to get one, but the shipping costs will own me, so I'd need to get a few...
I think they are $18US each, and probably with a few bucks shipping on top, so ~$40NZ all up I imagine...
Don't know if you have played with a plexi top before but it kinda changes the feel of the stick. Just something to be wary of
does changing the artwork involve voiding the warranty?

Not entirely sure. The warranty void sticker is on the bottom of the stick, which you definitely don't have to open to swap the art, so I guess it's then just a matter of reverting it to stock afterwards before sending it in...
I just realised I have lexan sheets that I can probably use for the top anyway, so I'll try make a top myself! And yeah, I've had a couple of sticks with lexan on top (including my arcade cabinet), don't really see a problem?

Yeah there is no prob with having a lexan/plexi/acrylic top just that it changes the feel imo which some people mite not like. How thick is your lexan? You may need to mod your stick so that the joysticks at the right height and snapins still fit.
It's about twice as thick as the stock plasticised art, so only adds a few mms, I don't think it's a problem.
