I realized I haven’t gamed with arcade-type joysticks for a long time and kind of missed them.
It seems to me gamepads are way more popular than large joysticks nowadays, when joysticks used to be a popular gaming accessory.
Is it because they take up too much space?
Is it because they lack the modern gamepad features (analog sticks / triggers / buttons, side / back buttons)?
Do you still use joysticks for gaming, and what kind of games do you play with them? What do you like about them?
I’d like to hear your thoughts.

Haven’t tried this one myself. I have used some of their other controllers, most recently the pro3 and I’m a fan. Pro3 has the ability to swap the joystick nubs for arcade style balls which is pretty cool. They feel and work just like you would expect.
