Hi All,


I had two favourite Joysticks....


Obviously my go too stick that got hammered to death (That's why I always had several backups!) was the good, old Zipstick!






But I had a secret weapon for certain games against my mate and he used to hate it, so much so he banned me from using it on games at his house! That Joystick was the QuickJoy Superstar.




A couple of the games I remember hammering him to the floor with was Graham Gooch World Class Cricket, Sensible Soccer and Waggle-O-Mania 2 no joystick could waggle like this one! (That doesn't sound right does it?)


I also had one of these bad boys....





They looked cool but played like crap!

Great times

You'r not alone - nobody can remember all those generic names lol

I go along with micro-händler, at least this name is somewhat unique.

Honestly the stick itself needs quite some travel and I'd prefer stick left, buttons right, so I still stick with others (suzo,...) lol.

But it's quite cool. Also includes paddles. And it's the only joystick I know with adjustable auto-fire rate, which i find useful. In terms of features and robustness the micro händler is quite unbeatable

It's also interesting that there exists a smaller version, half of the size, without paddles and only one yellow button, called Sigma 1001.

I have one of those!
Really tough one, but really crappy paint etc.

Not sure if it still works.

People that love QuickShot: Really guys you need to check out real joysticks and see what you were missing.

I'd like to buy one of these. Are they available somewhere where I know how to fill in address and pay? It's just I've looked on eBay and Amazon and it's not there and my Spanish isn't too good. :P

sanwa parts so u know its gonna be good lol, hasa switch that when used maps up on the stick to the 2nd button, very handy for those platformers.

Im so impressed that my usual go to Zipstick is taking a well earned break in the drawer.
