Title: Twenty years old joysticks and one new
Post by: utri007 on April 03, 2013, 11:48:21 PM

About a month ago, I realized that all my joysticks are at least twenty years old. I have 14 different joysticks, one of them is not in picture. So I decided that it is time to start protecting them.

I found new joypads from DealExtreme, price was about 3,5€, so really cheap  I ordered two. This is a hint, seems to be very good gamepad for that price.

Here is a picture of it.

So how good is joypad wich cost 3,5€  Well I tested it some half an hour, it is OK, perfectly useable. No flaws that would prevent using it. Picture doesn't tell that is quite small and so are buttons.
