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...


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.

Well if you manage to break a Competition Pro joystick I then we'll have to rename you The Incredible Hulk... :)

LOL :) Glad to know they'll hold up.

LOL, yeah, I hear ya. I'd definitely be hurting without a working joystick. Still, I'm curious to give Moonstone a play with the comp pro and see how it compares to the TAC 2 and PS controller.

I have about 20 Epyx 500XJ used + 14 still in there box.. . Mind you i also have the Competition Pro + heaps other but the best joystick is the Star Cursor! made is Australia it was an Arcade quality joystick that could take punishment lucky i have 3. Although i have to rewire the 3 one if and when i get time.

That is awesome! I've started scouting ebay for a 500XJ. They seem to pop up there regularly, even NOS. The Star Cursor must be a rare beast... so is the Comp Pro CD32, been searching ages for one and always seem to miss out.
