Totally agree, no wow in that thing. Then again I didn't own an AES in the nineties and maybe there is a nostalgic thing with the Omega looking like the AES? By the way, I also picked the walnut over ash...so much wow on that one!

18 months? They need a year and a half to make the analog and ship it?

Nope. That was what Joneo wanted to say: onyxx tought it over for 18 months before even placing the order. I don't know how long production time for the Analogue is, but certainly not that long.

I think mine came in about 4 months after I placed my order...but they were waiting for the limite pior to production due to cost of completing the orders. I got a email saying alk orders were completed and actuall time from production to package at my house was more like 2 months
Im on the fence on buying their all wood controllers..if it was not doe he 200 dollar price tag id have pulled the trigger.....maybe if it was 75-125 id do it without a scond thought

You could always pay a local woodworker to make you an enclosure and then build it yourself but it would come out to about $150 depending on how much the wood worker charges for the enclosure. Sometimes they'll do it for like $50-75.

Great thread... very informative... I'm in the market very soon and also leaning towards the Omega simply due cost. I wish they offered some sort of package deal with 2 controllers tho.

I'm currently in the market for a cmvs and leaning towards the Omega. But I'm curious about the condition of the wood encasing and wooden joystick for those who owns the AI for more than 2 years.

My AI CMVS showed up today. I honestly didn't know much about the Omega when I placed the order. I still think I'd prefer the AI now, but a large part of that is due to the fact you can get matching sticks. If Omega were to have matching sticks... I'd still be happy with my AI, but the decision would have been a lot tougher.
Yeah, its just a shame that they are c.a. 20 years old.

Nothing wrong with that once they are cleaned and regreased.

More than just fine, they're a perfect match.

It's like trying to make cherry pie out of shit. The original Neo sticks are horrible compared to the AI ones. I have both.
If Quan could make some nice sticks with All Sanwa/Seimitsu parts they would walk out the door.

Doesn't change the fact the stick is for a dwarf and the whole thing is too flimsy and light. It was nice 20 years ago but there are much better alternatives available now.

The original AES sticks are OK. But I agree, once you have something like an AI stick, the AES stick seems a whole lot shittier. I really liked my AES stick. Even upgraded the buttons to little 24mm Sanwas. But I don't think I've used it once since I got my AI stick.
Speaking of which, since the Omega is $200 cheaper than the AI, and the AI stick just happens to be $200, seems like an Omega CMVS and a black AI stick makes for a pretty good combo.
