Just curious -- anyone received their order yet?  Still hanging tight here.   (just psyched).

Good news btw is that the man is home and well!  Thanks Mission for keeping us in the loop!  There's a new note regarding shipping on his site as well -- so all orders should be out by the top of March!

Can't wait!!!

Ummon:
I ran across an old email confirming my transaction on buying two of these. Man, it's been four months, now. And look what I find on the site:

CURRENTLY SOLD OUT!

Inventory is not available at this time, the new storefront, newsletter system and customer management system are going online on June 30th and at that time a very limited number of available joysticks will be onsale with an inventory counter, once gone, another batch will not be available until July.

 
I didn't get mine, and I ordered last October.

Personally, I cant believe anyone would want one of these.

 They were wretchedly horrible joysticks.   Ate up the hands, were sloppy and
inaccurate, stiff, and the internal pads wear and cause intermittent connections.

 You had to use one hand to fire and hold the thing... and so it was very clumsy
and awkward.

 Personally, Id buy these and day over those Craptastic torture devices:

 Ergonomic, fitting in the hand really comfortably.  Has high quality microswitches in
the assembly, instead of those dreadful contact pads. Highly accurate, no sloppy feel.
Comfortable shaft as well.

the konix speedking (as it was nameb here) I had one (actually i still have it in  my joystick cemetery)  it works well unless you need to use diagonals, whitch are a nightmare, but for 4 direction this joystik was a dream. Quickshot 2 turbo (for the ones who liked trigger joysticks) and the prof competition (and the other suzo styled joystiks) where the best in europe.

Ironically Konix  went into bankrupcy while developing an home arcade system (the prototype had a moving platfform for racing / flight games also!!!)

I used one of these with my Atari 600, Commodore 64, and Amiga's back in the day. That was a great little joystick.
