I’m looking for a joystick or game controller for the boy for his Wintel box, but I have no idea what too look for in technology these days; I grew up on those little atari joysticks, and modern Nintendo/Sony/X-Box controllers have way too many buttons and knobs for my tiny brain.

Add that PC joysticks are all potentiometer based, not contact based like the old Ataris, and you get a clueless me :)

Does anyone have recommendations? What to look for? What to avoid?
