To be honest with you I have never been a big fan of the Competition Pro joystick even though that joystick is heralded as one of the best joysticks for the Amiga.

I do not even like the Tac 2, it is difficult to register fire button presses on that one so I was very pleased to use Sega MasterSystem joypad on my old A500. I remember I played so much on that A500 with the joypad that the “thumbpad” cracked :)

Anyway, Speedlink is celebrating 25 years of joystick mania and decides to release this limited edition version of the classic Competition Pro, which I think many Amiga users will recognice.

One small difference, this is a USB joystick so you wont be able to connect it to your Amiga 500 to play Bubble Bobble with it. But I guess you could always mod it to 9-pin Atari joystick standard.

Each joystick is stamped with its unique serial number, very cool!

This mystery Amiga mouse was observed at the Amiga Essen event. Ball in water, how nice. I want one. Rumour is that the mouse was ordered by the crew over at a1k.org from China, but do not tell anyone because it has not been certified for use in Europe.

Anyways, I do not care about RoHS, I want this Amiga mouse! :)
