The "QuickShot" joystick is one I've seen quite frequently at
second-hand stores which has the IBM/Apple switch. They seem to be a
lot smoother than the horrific Apple joysticks and more ergonomically
designed. I have a few and they all seem to stay calibrated quite
well... though I'm not much of gamer, so they probably don't get the
abuse they should.
