PC still playing Amiga catchup

Don't forget about the mighty VIC-20! Clearly beats the lame C16!:whack:

Honestly, I've got no idea what such a joystick polling frequency is meant to accomplish. 1 kHz is far beyond ridiculous - who's supposed to move the stick that fast?? And don't forget the (formerly) common PC joystick is an analogue entity where it takes a bit for the ADC to work. Digital joysticks are a lot faster. Actually they were since the joyports have been gone for some time.

Actually it's more of a 'I want a 100% defined hardware base where I can bang bare metal as I see fit' against a hardware abstracted architecture, held together with drivers. Clearly the former is easier to code for, but the fate of the Amiga clearly shows what consequences are implied and which one is a more future oriented solution.

USB 1.1, USB 2.0, USB 3.0 -  these are standards that tell you nothing about which transfer rate to expect in any given situation. You should seriously consider using the terms Low-Speed, Full-Speed, Hi-Speed and SuperSpeed... Most (all?) HID devices including joysticks use Low-Speed.
