Retro games have never been more popular, with each old system becoming popular again for the generation that played it in their younger years. There are also some peripherals from the era that evokes fond memories with just a mention. Such is the case of the QuickShot II joystick, a controller that just got a revival under the name THEQUICKSHOT II, by classic computing purveyor Retro Games.
The new-old kit hews closely to the original with its distinct directional microswitches, auto-fire functionality, and suction cups at the bottom. Modern accoutrements include a USB-A interface and six extra buttons you can use in contemporary games if so desired, or just as an easy way to map shortcuts in an emulator. Retro Games will be selling the joystick starting on January 30, 2026, for the price of £29.99, or around $40 or 34€.
