The USB version of these joysticks are total garbage, completely useless. Throw them in the trash and don't look back. You can find the same complaints here on Amiga.org and other Amiga sites like AWN.

If it uses standard Windows HID then the latency is almost certainly in the chip (or more likely it's firmware) at the heart of the USB competition pro.


Windows HID :-x

Yes they are!  I was going to recommend Red's Ebay shop but it appears he might be out.  AmigaKit usually has a supply in stock. Looking at the box mine came in,  it's made by Speed Link which also makes the USB sticks.  The box, however, also says that it's "powered by Individual Computers.  Perhaps that's the difference between the USB and this one.


I bought two so I'd have a spare!


Actually I have some left. Thanks for letting me know my ebay store needed update :-D
