I hated my 90's Thrustmaster joystick for DOS / Win95 for its program for calibration. By the time joystick is calibrated, I lose interest in playing game.

For me the worst joystick ever is the Atari CX40. Not because it's got the worst ergonomics (although any joystick you have to hold that is square doesn't know how a hand works) or even the most difficult to repair. What makes it the worst is the dozens (not an exaggeration) I fixed over the years and the dozens (again not an exaggeration) I bought replacing them. I have several retro joysticks in my collection but not one CX40 as it may set off PTSD.

Probably the controller on the cdi 470/05 that arrived today but it does look good
At least I can now play Rise of the Robots on CD! as my CDTV attempts failed (I will try again in the future) The video CD's a great though - the quality is surprising as I was always told it was terrible |

worst? whichever piece of rubbish plastic came with the C16 as default, its handle broke pretty much every time with regular normal use, think i broke mine on formula one racing and roboknight at least 2-3x.

I remember it to be stiff as heck and a very bad gaming experience overall. But still very iconic and I should purchase one just for the nostalgia. |

This would be a tough one, I seem to have collected about 50 different joysticks with all the bundles I've bought over the years.
Never liked my friend's Wico Boss joystick, that was horrible, like a big spoon in a pot of sticky porridge lol but I am sure I have much worse in my collection now. The best for me is easy, Euromax Zipstik. |

A friend of mine swore by the Boss for soccer games. I have one sitting around somewhere. I keep getting the stick rotated though so I end up running sideways when trying to play up the field

I'm switching my vote to the speedlink anniversary competition pro. What a pile of crap.
I would send it back, but I think it more deserves to hang on a wall of shame so I'm keeping it to periodically shout insults at it. |
