Joystick with two independent fire actions

I'm looking for a joystick with two independent fire actions. AFAIK there aren't many to choose from

1) Quickshot 2+2 (modified Quickshot 2 with auto-fire replaced by second independent fire action - modification done by Frel Ltd.)

2) Voltmace Delta 3S

3) Flightlink by Flightlink Control Ltd.

Anybody have one of the above that they're looking to offload? Or anyone aware of another stick, that I've missed in my research, that offers what I require?

Thanks

    New Competition Pro type joysticks, Sega Gamepads, Atari joysticks, Telemach joysticks have independent fire buttons.

    Keep in mind that Kempston and Sinclair interfaces allow only ONE fire button (but in other systems, like Atari 2600 or MSX will work as intended).

    Maybe you could find a fully programmable joystick interface (joy to key mappings) than have two buttons, but I don't know if it exists.
    I was there, too
    An' you know what they said?
    Well, some of it was true!

    I already have a Comcon programmable joystick interface that supports two independent fire actions, that's why I'm looking for a stick that supports the same.

    I might look into a newer stick if I can't find one of a similar age to my Spectrum setup, I'm a sucker for wanting to have all my retro gear from the same time period! Sad, I know!

    Any of the joysticks sold for the SEGA Master System or MSX support two fire buttons.
    Not sure if they're compatible with the Comcon but if you look inside it, you'll find two of the three spare pins wired together as FIRE-2. It's a simple job to wire all three spare pins together to be sure.

    The other way of getting two fire buttons to work on a Spectrum is to isolate one of the buttons yourself, then wire it up to GROUND and FIRE on a second cable.
