        I've got a Navigator but I found that it was hard at getting
diagonals, otherwise it's very good except for the fire button (mine broke-
the plastic split, it's now held by superglue and a lot of praying).

        A good joystick is the Cruiser,(I don't know who by) but after a year
of use it sometimes doesn't respond to 'down' (no idea why!).  i have two
competition pro 500, clear (non-autofire, non-microswitch fire) and a
glo-green (autofire, slo-motion & microswitch fire) now.  Don't waste your
time with a non-microswitch firebutton joystick, their not responsive enough.
