Found this in my #retrocomputing lot today. Its super dirty right now and is soaking in a bath. I might hit it with a LIGHT peroxide bath as the weird squishy plastics have some amount of yellowing (this is a picture from https://www.atarimagazines.com/st-log/issue27/109_1_ST_NEWS_STOP_SUFFERING_FROM_PAC-MAN_BLISTERS.php)

@seanwbruno That is, in my opinion one of the finest Atari-compatible joysticks ever made..a Wico Ergostic. I have many of them here.

@paradroyd it’s so nice and clicks too. Tomorrow I’ll give it a short bath.

@seanwbruno I acquired one that was sticking a little bit back in 2021. I took it apart, cleaned it up, and it's been good as new ever since.Really well constructed. It's all micro switches and an internal steel shaft.These things are almost too stiff when they're new, but after some usage, they amazing.
