The Quickshot II

Return to the era of classic computing and arcade thrills with The Quickshot II, a modern reimagining of one of the most iconic joysticks in gaming history. Produced by Retro Games, this high-performance controller is designed to provide an authentic feel for players using THEC64, THEVIC20, or modern PC and Mac systems. Whether you are navigating treacherous dungeons or engaging in high-speed space combat, this joystick delivers the tactile feedback and reliability that only a true microswitch-based controller can provide.

The joystick features a full all-microswitch design, ensuring that every directional movement and button press is registered with a satisfying click and absolute precision. Unlike membrane-based controllers, these microswitches are built to withstand intense gaming sessions without missing an input. The floating ball joint design allows for seamless movement in eight degrees of circular freedom, giving you the fluid control necessary for complex manoeuvres. To help you climb the leaderboards in demanding shoot-em-ups, the integrated auto-fire switch allows for rapid-fire action at the flick of a toggle.

Beyond its classic silhouette, The Quickshot II has been updated with modern functionality. It boasts eight action and feature buttons, including two primary fire buttons and six function buttons, providing the full range of inputs required for modern emulators and gamepad-compatible titles. The refined ergonomic grip ensures that you can play in comfort for hours, while the sturdy base provides stability during the most frantic encounters. Combining retro aesthetics with contemporary build quality, this is the definitive input device for any enthusiast of vintage gaming culture.
