I also received it today. Easy to install and looks great on my K750. Great for guys with big thumbs like me hehe - awesome mod maxh!

I got mine via USPS today too.

Very easy to install...I just pressed down on the joystick and voilà! Perfect fit!

It look OEM and works great. Navigating through the menus are now much more precise and mistakes are greatly minimized.
Anyone who owns a W800/K750 should highly consider this mod.

Thank you William

Just received mine in the mail today - looks like USPS are fast crossing the Atlantic!

Installation was a cinch, although I put it on crooked a few times. Finally I got it on quite straight, well very slightly off but I think it's good enough for now.

Feel with the joystick was greatly improved, but it's quite different from before: where I used to push the joystick in one direction I now pull by pushing the cap edge. The larger contact surface reduces the chance of mistakes; it no longer goes in a direction even if I don't ensure an accurate press.

Only (minor) gripe, which is probably just me anyway, was the difficulty in getting it on straight

Just an update to what I wrote before: as I mentioned, the mod improves the feel a lot. However, my mate, who was interested in getting one for himself, tried mine out and didn't think the same. He has smaller thumbs than mine, though. So I could infer that this mod might not be so suitable for people with smaller hands.

Also, I've noticed my 'left' and 'up' aren't as responsive as before (need harder push)... I think I damaged my joystick while installing it, so I advise fellow buyers to install it carefully, (try to get it striaght the first time, I needed a few tries).

I have relisted 10 more on ebay for those of you that contacted me after the last listing ended. Here it is:

fiish, are you sure the joystick is seated correctly? I've had caps on and off of my joystick probably 50 times, literally, and have not had any change in sensitivity. Sometimes when I pull one off, the joystick lifts up and doesn't seat itself correctly. When this happens, it doesn't work right, until I wiggle it around and get it to seat properly.

Hey, you're right! I pulled the joystick up (but not hard enough to take the cap off) and reseated the joystick, and everything seems to have gone back to normal Cheers!

i got mine today in the mail, great mod! finally all the directions on my joystick are responsive! Love the mod, haven't tried pulling it off yet, hopefully that shouldn't be a problem.

Putting it on was so simple took a couple of seconds and then the experience changes after that!

Thanks maxh!

I would like to buy one more too for my K608i. Hopefully it works on this phone.

This mod is a nice addition to my K750 & W800.

Hey guys, I'm just about out of them right now, so I'm not going to relist them yet. I've been really busy lately and I probably will continue to be, but I'm hoping I can get a chance to make more next weekend. So I think there's a good chance I'll have them relisted by next Monday.

I just got my joystick for the K750. The only thing I have to say is, it fits great and feels great. Pleasure doing business with you Max, thanks again.
