TaoStyx64 Grippy Joystick Cap (Smash Variant)
TaoStyx64 Grippy Joystick Cap (Smash Variant)
The "Smash Variant" grippy cap has the same cross-hatched knurling pattern as the "Gravatos Variant" grippy cap, but has slightly less aggressive texture on top of the cap brought about by an extra step of sandblasting to smooth the cap somewhat.
This new "Smash Variant" is less abrasive on the top of the cap for faster paced games (like smash). This cap is still quite grippy and is grips better on the top than many other smooth type caps made of hard plastic. The feel of the top of the cap is mainly what differs between the "Gravatos Variant" and "Smash Variant" Grippy caps. All grippy Tao caps are super lightweight (around 0.9g including the stainless screw).
What makes the Grippy Cap stand out?
What makes the Grippy Cap stand out?
This cap is made of very tough carbon fiber impregnated nylon. It is very lightweight, it is very grippy, and it is very durable. It grips better than just about any other smooth-textured caps out in the wild. This cap is designed to fit any stick that uses M3 internal threading (all known metal sticks but not ReTech).
It has a T10 torx bolt made of stainless steel, which is exactly the same bolt that Linus at SteelSticks64 used. This cap is compatible with any stick which is compatible with Linus's SteelSticks64 caps.

This cap will fit any stick that has M3 internal threads. Basically, if your stick can accept a SteelSticks64 cap, then this cap will work in your stick.
