What happened to you when you got your 3D converters?

When I heard the postman, I dashed down the stairs, fell, broke my neck and now I am a dead but happy converter owner

Couldn't open the packet at once, so cracked it open with a hammer, and now my converters are gone, boohoo!

I find all this for an old-skool stick which can't hold a candle to modern sticks, quite funny. Well, more power to ya - can I sell you a bridge? It's in real good condition!

Would you be willing to trade for a clue?

If you can upload pics of your converter plugged in and running, post em here.

edit - dammit you guys, the pics of the converters themselves were to be the 'stfumobius' pic. :)

Um, I own and use a Saitek Cyborg Evo. While it's a good stick in its own right, it's the one that can't hold a candle to the 3D Pro, not the other way around.

For Krom's sake, since I already have one uploaded:

(As for me, I'm eagerly awaiting my converter's arrival. :))

Clueless n00b. The MS Sidewinder is the best stick ever. I've tried a few. Admittedly not the flight control simulation systems that cost a few 100 bucks, but the regular ones.

As it stands right now, at 33% we sissies RULE!. However, it still looks to me like a pretty neat little converter, and just might inspire me to see where I can get a couple MS sticks to try it out. I was under the impression that Grendel could still make them, no?

He can make them but I understand that he needs to buy in bulk to get a good price. You you would have to need like 20 of them.

I still have a few empty boards. If there is demand, I may end up making another small batch of 10 (don't count on it tho..)
