Reviews

"This is the joystick that's hot at the moment. If you believe the makers and PR hype, it's selling faster than the speed of light.

no base or suckers so you can't stick it the table. It fits snuggly into the left hand, forefinger curling under to hit the fire tuition. The stick itself is operated by the right hand. If you're left-handed, forget it" 8/10


"..The Speedking is probably the only joystick which has been designed, solely to fit perfectly into the hand, that is, into a big hand.."


"Superficially , this actually looks like a poor

cousin of most of the sticks here . Cheap and shabby, even its markings are the result of transfers overlaid on to the moulded plastic of the main body . Aesthetically, it's a non- starter. but once you've summoned the courage to remove the L-shaped contraption from its box, it fits rather nicely in the palm of the hand with the thumb occupying a special groove and the index and middle fingers centred around the firebutton. During use, the stick gave a very good tactile response and the microswitches worked well. From initial misgiving, the Speed King quickly became one of our favourite sticks and proved adaptable to any type of game."


"Acclaimed to be ’The World’s First High Performance Joystick', the Speedking fits comfortably into your hand. It has a solid feel and a loud shaft click so you can hear each move, A good all-rounder, it feels as if it will last a long time. Also available wiih turbo-fire (£12.99), Sensible Software used it in their recent soccer World Cup. What more recommendation do you need? There is also an analogue version (£14,99) with free-floating and self-centring modes - useful for flight sims like Knights of the Sky. Analogue joysticks will only work with analogue compatible software." {{{score}}}
