KevKelley Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) I was curious as to what everyone's joystick preference was. I had personally enjoyed using a Powerstick, Gemstick, and a Gemini controller. I remember having a boxy gray one with a little square button that i loved when i was little. I think it had a skinny stick but i found it responsive and fun to play with. I have been searching for what it was so that i may acquire one. I also got a new old stock Comrex commander joystick that I have yet to play with but I love the clickyness of the stick.

I had one of these but not until I got a Vic 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevKelley Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) I did some searching and it looks like the Kraft 800-206 joystick, except the controller was gray. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0364/6305/products/98cedd0b0c2b401792ffc9059415f06a_large.jpg?v=1524956585 Edited December 27, 2018 by KevKelley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edladdin Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 My daily driver for 2600 and 7800 is an All-Play 4/8: Supreme 78. Its my favorite for the ambidextrous play and the ability to easily and instantly lift the control panel and change the restrictor plate from 4-way to 8-way. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamchevy Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) I really like the Best Electronics rebuilt CX40 controllers. Mainly I play with a Supertwin 78. Edited December 27, 2018 by adamchevy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't that leave waffle patterns on your hands? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari PAC-MAN Fan Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Personally, I think the CX40 joystick with the stick-stand is the best. It's even better if you can find the ball attachment! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Yurkie Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 How about an original that works properly. Hard to find but nothing better IMO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AW127 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Competition Pro, Suzo the Arcade, TAC-2, Zipstick, Sanwa Arcade Sticks, Seimitsu Arcade Sticks (many USB-Sticks work, when are connected with "TOM" or "RYS MK-II" adapter on a 9Pin-system). There are a large selection of good sticks, you must choose by your own whats your favorite by trying some of them. Often it's a matter of taste. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digdugnate Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I'm partial to my Best-refurb CX40 stick. I love the 'clicks'. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edladdin Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Doesn't that leave waffle patterns on your hands? That has not been a problem. The controller is wide and heavy enough that it sits still on my lap, so I can keep a light touch on the controls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
