This is not the new USB version based on the classic Amiga joystick. This is actually an updated version of the classic Competition Pro Joystick for use on real Amigas and the Commodore 64!



Amiga kit currently have them in stock if you are interesting in getting one for the bargain price of just £8.65 inc. VAT.

They also have a new special edition of the USB version based on this classic joystick. It looks very stylish in a blue and silver colour scheme and is £13.49

Yeah, I remember you posted news about the stick on the site. This is sort of an update that Amiga kit also have the stick in stock too, as well as mentioning the new special edition usb version which looks quite cool

I prefer the original over the special edition, it's even more nostalgic ;-)

True. There is something special about the Black and red version. I still have an original version of that joystick too.

The Blue and silver one would be quite cool to use for other emulation such as MAME though.

I remember reading about the re-release of these joysticks, great for us retro gamers with failing old skool joysticks saving our fingers getting burned with solder being able to buy new, now if only they would re-release the classic zipstik instead, personal preference I know but I for one preferred the Zipstik's slightly smaller size and fire button design.
