Best analog controller for Amiga

So, tell me about your experiences with analog controllers, which one is the best? I'm going to get me one to play several games that support these kind of controllers.

Make an adapter to connect a PC 15pin analogue stick to the Amiga.. Then you can use some Logitech or MS joystick..

I only have experience with one, which was made by Phoenix Microtechnologies (who also made the A1000 Phoenix motherboard). It works fine and doesn't require a driver.

I've never come across any others, but here are a few product reviews/info sheets of other analogue joystick adapters:

Gravis Mousestick

DigiPrint IBM Analog Joystick Interface

Amiga Smart Port

You have to be quite lucky to find analogue joystick adapters for the Amiga these days. Montek Electronics in Canada are fairly reputable and sell them for about US$10:

You could also make one using an Aminet hack:

Deluxe22.lha

JoyProject20.lha
