My favourite was always the Quickshot II, still got one in fact. The worst ones I've ever used are the Commodore one and the original Atari one, which is only better by virtue of the fact it looks cooler and better made than the Commodore one. -

I remember going through a few generic joysticks, a couple of Quickshot IIs. I was a keyboard kid then after. Never looked back. I can't really even get on with console joypads these days. Just don't enjoy using them. -
