Are these the "Suncom" joysticks?  I've used the Epyx 500, the Wico
3-way (three different handles), the original Atari 2600 joysticks
and the Suncoms.  Of the 4, I prefer the Suncom.  It feels the best,
gives me the highest scores and is the cheapest solution.  What a deal!

The Wico is built like a Sherman tank, but it is too large & bulky to
be comfortable.  The Epyx just didn't seem to "fit well" -- I had a hard
time using it.
