USB Joystick
 
Are there any good, and cheap, USB joysticks out there? I play Apple II games a lot on an emulator but some of the games need a joystick. I'd like one that has at least two buttons. Nothing fancy. Just a simple, two button USB joystick. And I'd like to stress cheap, but not too cheap. 20 dollars or lower would be good.

This dualshock-style controller is cheap and has decent reviews for the price:

Joystick? :confused:

It's just over your $20 limit but you can't beat a Logitech Extreme 3D pro.

:lol:

I didn't look too hard, but all the "joysticks" I saw on Amazon were expensive flight sticks. So I switched to the Gamepad list.

Just get an original Apple II controller and a Gameport to USB adapter unless you can find a Speedlink in stock somewhere.

Unfortunately $33 seems to be the going rate there: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listi...&condition=new

I do play the old Apple II games a lot, so I could go about 30 dollars.

That does look like a cool joystick.
