When the Kempston broke it was time for a new joystick and this is the one alternative above all else. This had great reviews and was the one of the joysticks to have. What was different about this joystick was that it had no suction cups and you had to hold it in your hand. The joystick's directional mechanism had a nice clickety clickety sound and was very responsive, except when you played games such as fighting games which require you to do quarter and half turns. It was a nightmare. But then fighting games back then were terrible anyway.
