what's this joystick?

Post by agent4125 »

Hi all, new member here.

I have one of these joysticks that I got out of an Electrocoin Midi Jamma cab years ago that had a Flying Shark PCB in it.

I have no idea what it is, but I really like the feel of it for shmups. It has a short through and feels fairly stiff. I'm assuming they are one of the better joysticks for shmups (?)

Does anyone know what it is and if they're popular sticks for shmups?

Cheers

It's an Australian made joystick that was popular in AUS / NZ back in the day.

Doesn't seem to be manufactured anymore. There are a few left here at a pretty steep price:

It's a nice stick. Like you said, short throw and high tension spring.
