Hmmm... doesn't that look quite much like Konix's Speedking, which has two button (Sega) versions too. Here's my two button Speedking and it's working perfectly with WHDLoad games etc with two separate buttons. In recent years I've learned that it's the best joystick ever Too bad I didn't have it in "golden years"...

That's a pretty neat looking stick. Wouldn't mind getting hold of one of those. Might make Mortal Kombat a little more fun. Though, I have gotten used to using the CD32 game pad.

I rather like mine.

I would pay for another if it was set up with two fire buttons for games that support it.

Autofire as a bonus.

LOL, yeah, I hear ya. I'd definitely be hurting without a working joystick. Still, I'm curious to give Moonstone a play with the comp pro and see how it compares to the TAC 2 and PS controller.

I have about 20 Epyx 500XJ used + 14 still in there box.. . Mind you i also have the Competition Pro + heaps other but the best joystick is the Star Cursor! made is Australia it was an Arcade quality joystick that could take punishment lucky i have 3. Although i have to rewire the 3 one if and when i get time.
That is awesome! I've started scouting ebay for a 500XJ. They seem to pop up there regularly, even NOS. The Star Cursor must be a rare beast... so is the Comp Pro CD32, been searching ages for one and always seem to miss out.

Anyone received there joysticks yet?

Ok after I posted this I just can't get it out of my head and I may get banned for speaking my
mind about this.
Here's what bothers me Damion said he was thankful but why shood he DescreetFx is a business
they run promo's thats what a business does to promote them self's..
And also I would expect better service since they own this site and would not have been to hard
to update the buyers..
This is the reason I got them here was the price and because of the DiscreetFx name.

Chris

Yes, expediting has been slow but don't sweat the small stuff Chris!

Haven't received mine yet either, but I know it'll arrive someday
