I have a few candidates, but might just buy a used ZipStik to go along with my original one. Would probably make 2 player games more even using the same joystick. Although I hoped we'd have some nice new shiny offerings given the number of Amiga upgrades and parts you can buy.

I would strongly recommend you at least try one of these. For so long I used Zipstick and consider them unbeatable but these new ones are a very good replacement I find. I don't personally feel that they have a long travel as previously mentioned

These are very good controllers, but they're not like Competition Pro or Zipstick in terms of joystick travel and feel.

yeah actually upon using a Zipstick again recently I think that's fair. A bit more travel and a little more bulk. Great option compared to the arcade r though
