  Actually, I personally think that the Epyx 500XJ is better than the Wico
Joysticks. It feels much more comfortable, especially when you're playing a
game which requires a lot of quick joystick movements. I found that on The
Boss, my hand would cramp up pretty fast, but on the Epyx, I found that my
hand would cramp up much less often than on the Wico.

  Also, in my case, the Epyx has lasted longer than the Wico Boss. On the Boss,
there are these little plastic things that pop off and jiggle around inside the
joystick after a lot of joystick use. Eventually, these things get caught in
the switches, so you have to open the thing to get the plastic things out. I've
had absolutely no problems with the Epyx, but if I do, it has a FIVE YEAR
warranty.
