The Arcade Turbo. Fast, accurate, but unfortunately not that hard to break...

Slickstick was nice but to easy to break. The Totally Accurate Controller 2 (tac-2) is sharing first place with a standard Sega Master System controller ... for some games the Tac was better and for some the Sega pad.

Amiga PowerStick.


Hard pressed to find a smaller joystick for an Atari/Commodore/Amiga.

I can play games one handed with that thing.

Zipstick, Throw it at the wall in frustration and it lives!

 But the Quickjoy Maverick was good too.

The Quickshot II Turbo from my Speccy days.  Still got one, although the top fire buttons are completely knackered.

My current fave is the one that was being sold for the Amiga a few years ago, can't remember what it was called, but it came in miniture aswell.

Gravis!  Both the digital and analog PC versions were near impossible to find.  The digital Amiga version rocked and was sold everywhere.  Well, "everywhere" relatively speaking, of course.  ;-)

Right now, I'm still using my CH Flightstick, though.  Best joystick EVER, though it's analog so it's crap for Amiga games.

OT:  WinUAE needs a turbo button emulator!   :-D

Zip Stick - the only real one. And you could take it apart and replace the micro-switches - they were crimped on not soldered! Excellent!

I may have a simplistic view, but I love the
Epyx 500XJ joystick.  Too bad I don't think they ever made one for left-handed people.

This is the one that sometimes is referred to as the "coffin" looking one.
