Wico joysticks are the best. They have a steel shaft. Wico joysticks were often
used in arcade game machines. Even if the micros wear out(I've had a Wico for 5
or 6 years and they haven't yet), you can easily buy some more for a couple of
dollars, since they are standard microswitches and extremely easy to replace.
