| Good news... The USB version are very nice but it never was my kind of joystick. I'd *love* to see an USB version of the Tac-2. That is my number one favourite. I really hope that they can expand and make a version of that joystick. It was very popular I recall. |

| I definitely will consider buying one of those. Though my personal favorite of these type of sticks is the zipstick. The buttons on the zipstick seems much more durable as the buttons on competition pro seems both laggy and have a tendency to get stuck after a few years.
I still have 2 zipsticks that i bought at the same time as my amiga and they are still fine today. |

| It's be nice if they remade the Quickshot 2 Turbo joystick too.. Especially as USB!

| I want to buy this from Amigakit, because my Amiga's joysticks are breaking as they are used and old and not working well anymore. I am going to wait for the release of these joysticks into the Amigakit.com store so I can order it. I am also going to order the gamepad too. |

| Good to see this little joystick back, I still have an original in a clear case and it still works though the fire buttons do stick down some times even though it is nice and clean.
Do the extra buttons provide further funtions on machines that support more than one fire button? |

| This is great news, but I - like hotrod - would like to see USB version of TAC-2 (the original US version with the metal shaft, not the Chinese one with el-cheapo plastic one, please).

| The Quickshot 2 was an awful leaf-switch joystick. The best joystick around was the Powerplay Cruiser, especially the multicoloured version which had a flatter top to it. |

You jest surely. That joystick was terrible. The leaf switches break far too easily, and it was useless to hold on your hand, and didn't stick to the desk very well. I do have one here that is still functional, but it'll never match my Competition Pros for use and wear. I believe we still have two or 3 CPs here that were used extensively with both the C64 and Amiga, and indeed still are used on the odd occasion I play a Miggy game or fire up my C64 or 128.
