So :
--one button speedking : was mostly compatible with any mundane 1 button Atari controllers, so commercialised for Home computers : Atari ST, Amiga, C64, Speccy and Amstrad CPC/Plus.
--one button speedking : was mostly compatible with any mundane 1 button Atari controllers, so commercialised for Home computers : Atari ST, Amiga, C64, Speccy and Amstrad CPC/Plus. existed with autofire or not. --two buttons speed king :yet with autofire or not. a SEGA model may have existed too (Sega Master system). And an Atari ST/Amiga (perhaps Amstrad too then).
--Analog : was mostly for PC. It seemed to have actually 3 buttons from what I remember on advertisements, but the 3rd button may be a thing to calibrate instead..
--others : existed for nintendo (may have had extra buttons start and select) or SEGA Megadrive (3+1 1start buttons)
Concerning this model pictured :
Yes it seems to be a 2 button compatible with Amstrad PLUS/GX4000/CPC. This must have been quite rare, as most CPC used the 1 button model. This is just the same as Sega compatible ones the 2 button model with no autofire, yet slightly re-differently wiredcompaired to Sega compatible ones.
But it is in no way an ANALOG model.
Analog speed king had a different stick.
