Tao V4 OEM Pro Stick

A precision CNC stainless steel design made in collaboration with @Alinktotao (Tao).  Tao has been making high quality sticks for the scene for a while and we collaborated to bring some of the most innovative ideas to the table in a single package.  The stick features a unique adjustment system allowing you to adjust how it feels and the values it produces.  This means the user can customize the stick to their specific use case and feel.

We changed up the cap design to feature a unique tongue and groove system to better support the cap and reduce it coming loose during game play.  

The stick includes an injection molded cap made from a blend of carbon fiber and polycarbonate.  The materials along with the knurling offer improved grip as compared to OEM.  I've dubbed this cap the Evolution cap.

The stick uses a smaller M2 bolt to secure the cap to the stick.  If you want to use another cap from another maker, such a Tao cap or a SS64 cap, there is a M3 to M2 adapter kit which comes with every stick.

Included with the stick is a pom nib.  Its recommended you use a steel bowl with this stick. Additional nibs (using different polymers) can be found in our nib customization kit.

The stick features a unique taper which engages the notches nicely on both OEM gates and the Renaissance gate, discussed below.

Overall performance is excellent with smooth gameplay, excellent benchmarks and superior feel to OEM.  Users will be required to bring their own encoder wheels, encoder pcb, spring, lower housing and gears (all of which can be harvested from an OEM module). 

Be sure to pair it up with a Renaissance N64 Gate and Renaissance N64 Steel Bowl for the best experience.
