Hello to all . After being very miserable with a boomerang cd 32 joy pad (very bad joy pad in my opinion).
I decided to start a little project creating an Amiga CD 32 joystick according to my preferences.
I am using a high quality all metal stick that I borrowed from a Tomahawk joystick which was made by Anerousis Control LTD here in Greece .
The Joystick after 10 hours of work in total is finally operational and beside the name of the joystick and the high quality suction cups I am going to get is very much finished .
Hope you guys like the project , here are some photos :

This is what I love so much about the Amiga community. Great work! And I like your home made computer desk with all your Amiga computers set up for use side by side. Your A1000 keyboard & monitor needs some "Retro-Brite" treatment to get it nice and white & beige again.
Edit: Just noticed how your joysticks for each Amiga get bigger from the A1000 to the CD32. All box shaped joysticks, and each one gets larger, but similarly shaped, from left to right.

Actually I am retro - brightening the Amiga 1000 keyboard tomorrow :)
As far for my joysticks I have a thing for big box shaped joysticks what can I say
The truth is that the left one is the original Tomahawk joystick, made by Anerousis Control LTd here in Greece . Its all steel and very accurate Joystick , I think Tomahawks along with their brothers the Pacmans (Pacman Joystick also made by Anerousis Control ) were the best Joysticks ever made for the Amiga . Its a same that they where not known outside Greek Amiga Community.
