This one's a cutie. It looks like a bug as well with it's large, from fire buttons resembling black eyes. The most palm friendly of all the palm friendlies. The Bug is one that takes some getting used to, but if you take a shine to it you may find you'll never pick up another joystick in earnest. Some may find the short stick too fiddly, but for me if s the most manoeuvrable of the lot. The Bug is a favourite at AF and my two bugs have taken a fair bit of battering over the past few months and are still going strong.
