There is also the thing of old joysticks feeling very flimsy, I have a few on which the plastic groans as you move it about. A zip stick though has a nice solid feel.
The Amiga is NOT an arcade machine, even if some would like to think it is. I prefer the idea that the Amiga is more "portable" than that, and the controllers that existed for it back in the day are perfectly sufficient for it, and any such joystick will do, with a USB adaptor.

Also, the Amiga doesn't have support of any kind for six buttons. Two at most, but not six.
