There is probably a good reason for that.  I had one of the Commodore
Joysticks for my VIC-20, and while it was basically an identical "clone" of
the Atari 2600 sticks, the Atari sticks used a much softer plastic for the
part over the stick, so the "ribed" part moved easier on the Atari Stick.

I wish I still has my 3rd party stick and "Auto-Fire" adapter.  

I have two of the nice red Wico sticks, but can only find thier boxes :^(
