Interesting controllers. Most of them I have never seen before.

Obscene amount of controllers.

Great video.  I think I had an early Cheetah joystick for my C64.  Pretty good for Daley Thompson's Decathlon and Pitstop II, as it was easy on your wrist.  Next up was the Competition Pro - pretty decent.  Then I had a Zipstick with my Amiga.  Amazing stick.  My favourite of all time.  Quite a simple design, but it really worked.

Never could see what all the fuss was with the Speedking.  I suppose the fact that you could hold it in your hand - although from the video it was shown to have serious flaws.

The Bug looks quite good.  I seem to remember it got some decent reviews at the time.

That Gravis stick shown in the video, looks like the ones that were made for the PC market(although they were analogue ones).

I have one of those! They are great for games where you need lots of precision of movement. I remember it being cracking for IK+ and Sensible Soccer, but a nightmare for joystick wagglers and anything where you needed quick fire button presses, it did have an autofire, but that always felt like cheating, and you couldn't hold the button down ingames that needed that function.
