Joysticks for Amiga

[Blue Jedi]

In my opinion The best joystick for the amiga 600 is the bug joystick by Cheetah fact.

I got the amiga 600 when it was released and I got the black cheetah bug joystick I still have it now boxed mint condition no scratches.

It is the best Joystick for the amiga 600 and amiga 600 games if you going to get a joystick the bug is the best one to get.

You grasp "The Bug" with one hand under it (that hand also presses the buttons) and steer with the other. It has turbo and a double cord so even Master system and Sinclair Spectrum users could use it. It's very comfortable. The cord is splitted in a weird way at the first socket. That's why the cordlength says 125 + 21 cm.

The best joystick for the amiga 600 is the bug joystick by Cheetah fact.

Opinion actually. And my opinion is that the bug is too small and fiddly - I prefer to grip the stick with my hand as opposed to thumb & a finger. (Only on classicamiga can you say that without people looking at you strange)

Anyway, my personal favourite is the Zipstick (technically the ZipStick Super Pro - the original Zipstick is a different joystick).
