I'd like to order one or two joysticks, but how is that international order? You say it will have extra cost, but I can't see where to change the country or how much it costs? Clicking buy and logging into paypal will give $1 shipping.

After you buy the joystick you will get a Paypal invoice for the actual costs of shipping minus the $2 we cover for you.


@broken

You will have enough time, your order should squeak in before the sale expires.

Cool - I'll make a purchase here later tonight. Got one free from a contest and it needs a mate!  I actually like the joystick well enough. Especially like how rugged it is. While I'm protective of my original 2600 controllers, I don't mind when others play with these!   :)

I get that about right? ;)

Never was a fan of the Comp Pro.  Now this bad-boy would be near perfection if it had two buttons, but I can make do with the one it has.

Competion Pro joysticks are the dogs bollox when it comes to playing games, I'd never use any other type they're the best Joysticks ever made... :)

The original one were the best though with leaf spring contacts instead of micro-switches, near silent and nothing to wear out... :)

Wish I needed some, at those prices even with shipping that's a real bargain... :)

Glad to hear. I've never had one, so I ordered two. As a kid my favorite was probably the Epyx 500XJ... but those are long gone and/or broken. Recently I pulled out a barely used TAC-2 I stashed away, and was surprised at how sloppy it was compared to the PSX pads I've been using the last several years. I quickly remembered why I always hated the thing. TAC-2 - absolutely sucking the dogs bollox since its inception.

I looked at your side to order some but was not sure if you delivered to Europe and how much the shipping the Germany would be.
Can you clarify this?

One you buy a joystick a separate invoice will be sent to you for the cost. It's wherever the real shipping charge is minus $2.

I never liked the comp pro. Too much hand strain for long hours, and the buttons get stuck quickly, at least on mine.
