Just had a random thought. Maybe I should try my spectrum to see if it works! The TV I have does have an RF input so it'd be usable!
then I realised I didn't have any joysticks for my spectrum. Somehow, I had lost the cool ass joystick I had for it.
But I couldn't remember the name! Turns out it's a Konix Speedking I had, which was my favourite spectrum joystick like, EVER. So responsive, lightweight, and comfortable.
...
THEN I found out that Konix still exist and make PC gaming stuff @_@
