Clint Thompson Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 This thing is absolutely sweet looking! Does anyone know if this is a mod or where I can get one of these babies at? Thanks... Clint Thompson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarianer2003 Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Hi, that's a VERY good joystick I've two of them (the one is chrome-blue and the other is red-transparent). They're named CompetitionPro Mini . Inside they have no standard contacts, but micro-switches - very exact. Bye Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clint Thompson That's factory, not modded. Try http://www.amigajoysticks.co.uk and look for Competition Pro. It's a great joystick, and was even re-badged, look here: http://www.myatari.org/issues/sep2002/megaste3.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took that photo. Agreed, it's a great joystick, and there were versions with auto-fire and different colour schemes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Thompson Posted November 16, 2003 Author Share Posted November 16, 2003 Cool stuff! Well, I think I like the blue one best with the Chrome buttons (that's modded right?) Anyone wanna sell me 1 or 2? Clint Thompson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AEX Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Clint, I have a spare (or 2) Competition Pro Joystick if you want it. Not sure if they still work (easily fixed), and you can customise them to your hearts content! Send me a private message or e-mail with your address and I'll send you one for Xmas!

No, as I said earlier, that's factory, not modded. However, beware that any kind of cosmetic coating, be it chrome or paint, is less durable than coloured plastic "all the way through". On something like a joystick, you'd probably want something durable over prettiness, unless you're just going to look at it! Speaking of decoration, I'm just working on an Atari modding project now, pics later... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
