joystick recommendations
« on: June 08, 2007, 03:11:09 PM »
I just bought Amiga Forever - my old Amiga is back on the farm at my parents place in Canada, as are all my disks.   So I picked up some ROMS of the games I have and want to play them on my Mac Pro, MacBook Pro under Parallels/VMWare/BootCamp.

I used to love the Konix (SpeedKing) Joysticks, but they too, are not with me.   Can I still get these and can I get them to work via USB somehow.  If not, what joysticks would be recommended to work on my systems using this emulation package?

Thanks

Thanks for the tips.   I never understood why there weren't more joysticks in the shap of the Konix - it was such a natural hand-fitting design - forms to your left hand with the button right on your trigger finger, and you control the joy stick with your right.  All others you basically have to straddle on top of it on your desk or in your laptop - awkward as hell IMHO.

That quickshot looks good but like you said a big weird controlling it with your left hand - it would be good if that was swapped around.

Thanks for all your tips!
