Title: Compact Joystick
Post by: Gusington on December 09, 2013, 08:21:13 AM
I think my larger Logitech joystick that I had for about 10 years has been lost in the chaos of renovation. It was ok, but always annoyed me because it took up a lot of space. Can anyone recommend a smaller joystick...ideally one similar to the awesome ones that Epyx put out back in the day. You could actually hold it in the palm of your hand and use the other hand to control.

With a title like that, I was really expecting this thread to be NSFW.

And you're the first and only to comment, naturally. Any suggestions?

Not for something small like that. I only have a larger Logitech like the one you've misplaced.

That's a little too small :)

I found a little gadget that I can connect to he (amazingly still available) Epyx stick for use on a PC. Pretty amazing how huge most modern sticks are.
