Alternative Colecovision Controller

I found this controller on Atari2600.com and was wondering if anyone has any experience with these? It looks like a decent controller that seems easy to use.

Yes, I have it and use it...the only thing I don't like about it is the 2nd fire button is on the front of the controller just under the keypad. It doesn't have #1 on the left and #2 on the right. Both buttons on the side are #1. If you play a game that requires the 2nd button...at least for me...this puts it in an awkward place to press, plus it doesn't have much give and is hard to press.

Here is a similar one. Do you know if the buttons are mapped the same way on this one?

I have never seen that one before, but it looks nearly identical to the Power-Stick controller. I would hazzard to guess that they are the same. Perhaps a different company began manufacturing them or it's a generic knockoff of the original.
