How the iconic Competition Pro joystick was created

#joystick #competitionpro #retrogaming

The Competition Pro joystick was one of the most iconic joysticks of the 80s and is still considered to be the best joystick for retro and vintage gaming. But who created it? Was it Kempston in the UK, SUZO in the Netherlands, or Coin Controls in the US?

In this video I found its origins and talked to its original creator about how it came into existence.
