Re: Joystick stuff

2000-02-23 by Nathan Hunsicker

If the dream of this joystick controller ever becomes reality, I used to
have a joystick for my Apple IIe (way back in the day...) It was the CH
mach 2. I just found out they still make this joystick. It was a
terrible joystick for playing games (my only gaming experience way
playing Brick-Out) but the cool feature was it had individual trimmers
for x & y axis's and a 3 position spring relief which in pos 1 would act
as a normal return to center joystick, in pos 2 it would allow about 25%
movement from center without springing back and pos 3 would not spring
back at all. Figuring I paid almost $80 for mine in 1982, the price of
$22 isn't bad for a very well made (in my opinion) joystick complete
with DB-15 connector. Just a suggestion to anyone who's thinking "that
huge flight joystick just won't look right on top of my Prophet 5" -Nate
