I own some of the "best" recomended joystics.

I know that the Quickshot Maverick 1 has/adds a nice feature so you can use one joystick for example with your C64 and connect it to both joysticks ports and then you can select which one you want to use. It also looks to me like it's the largest joystick I've had and it could feel just like if you were playing in a vintage arcade machine.

It adds some features never seen, like the chance to change among different systems:
A) ATARI / COMMODORE
B) MSX
C) AMSTRAD
D) SEGA

I would like to know how good this joystick is compared to a TAC-2 or other nice joysticks out there. I would also like to know if any modification is recomended as I've seen some posts about using micro switches in some known good joysticks.

Please remember that I've just bought it, I don't have it yet. I just saw it, NOS (box not so new) and the price was cheap (16€). I had seen it in the past and I liked it (I'm almost sure it was our friend fitzsteve using it years ago). I wonder now for example how it compares to the Arcade Evolution Amiga Joystick by Amigakit.
