Ok, haven´t had much luck yet, of course the delivered Pad works and all DB9 Joysticks so far ....
A500 Mini Pad (wired) -> won´t work
PS4 Pad (wired) -> works (BT not tested)
Xbox Series S/X Pad (wired and BT) -> won´t work (is shown but will not pair on BT)
Logitech Gamepad F310 -> works -> needs to be in "DirectInput" mode
Speedlink Competition Pro USB -> works
Hyperkin Scout Premium USB -> works
8BitDo M30 (BT) -> works (wired not tested, should work too)
Retrobit Mega Drive 6/8 button Arcade Pad with USB -> works
Gamesir Nova Lite -> works
DB9 :
Competition Pro -> works
Quickshot II -> works
Atari Joystick (Clone) -> works
-
DB9:
Zipstik -> works
(I’d be surprised if any Atari standard DB9 joystick didn’t work)

Yes, you´re right, put them there just in case ... ;)
But : are there ANY USB PADs that are actually working besides the one that comes with the Unit ???

As already posted, not at the moment.

I have found one! The Logitech Gamepad F310. It needs to be in "DirectInput" mode, by having the switch underneath on D, not X (XInput). The "Mode" button also needs to be on (lit up), as it will then use the D-pad rather than the analogue stick (the analogue stick works but - as you would expect for something expecting digital input - is erratic).
It works perfectly on both the A600GS interface and in-game. The Start button brings up the A600GS menu (like pressing F12) and the A button is the standard Amiga fire button. None of the other buttons do anything, although I've not tested CD32 games.

Nice :D Added it to "The List" ;)

A few years ago I bought a Speedlink Competition Pro USB for use with The C64, which works like a charm.
A few days back I tried hooking it up to the A600GS, and it works very well there too.
The left main button acts as the Amiga fire button, not sure about the right hand main button as I haven't tried it with any 2 button games.
The smaller button on the left seems to change between 4 way and full 8 way control methods, which is kinda strange, and the smaller button on the right does nothing.
This is a perfect 80s style throwback controller for playing games on the A600GS.
This is what I bought (got mine from ebay though)

KMTech adapter with PS1 controller works well.
Config makes every other button than the 3 lower shapes buttons autofire/rapidfire which could be haphazard if accidentally triggered.
Aftermarket joypads enable the joystick part to be used otherwise it's the d-pad only for genuine PS1 controllers.

That adapter is for DB9 port IIRC ??
-
Yes it's for an actual Amiga. I missed this is a A600 GS thread, it's a DB9 to PS1/PS2 controller adapter.

Confirmed working well with 8bitdo M30 :D

To confirm this, this cheap "Atari sticks" works

Just tested PS4 Pad again (wired) and now it works 8)
Added the Atari Clone, although all DB9 Joysticks will work ...

I have this BT gamepad with keyboard that is working, both as a jopystick and a keyboard.
The one I have is unbranded, baught years ago from ebay or ali.
It looks identical to this one at amazon named Luckymall YXSB-100 (https://www.amazon.ca/Luckymall-YXSB-001-Bluetooth-Controller-Joysticker/dp/B019P15VY4)

Just want to post and update on these Atari Clone DB9 joystick I mentioned earlier. I was quite impressed with them as they felt very compact and had a satisfying clicking sound which gave me a feeling that there was some decent quality microswicthes inside, like the original.
But the other day there was another not so nice sound that apeared while using it, and after this it got much looser at one side and not so good to use. I opened it and found there is some thin plastic "leaf springs" on the bottom of the handle that is used to engage the swicthes, and one of these was cracked. And it turns out there are no microswicthes inside either, just some metal that bends down and clicks when pressed together.
I managed to repair it though, by 3d printing an enforcement ring which I superglued to the springs, and also made a thin spacer plate to compensate for that the enforcement got the springs a bit to close to the switches.
Now it works quite well again, and I hope my repair will last :)

I have two Mega Drive themed controllers from Retrobit, their official names are:
Mega Drive 6 button Arcade Pad with USB
and
Mega Drive 8 button Arcade Pad with USB
Both are wired controllers with USB connection.
I tried them in the A600GS, and they work perfectly, in exactly the same way the controller that comes with the GS does.
Both controllers appear on the Controller Preferences screen as "SWITCH CO.,LTD. USB Gamepad" (see attached picture)
Buttons A&B work as buttons 1&2 on the Amiga
The Mode button brings up the on screen keyboard
And the Start button brings up the F12 menu, in exactly the way the GS controller's start button does.
(The two extra shoulder buttons on the 8 button pad don't offer any extra functionality over the 6 button pad on the GS)
These two pads are a perfect alternative to the official A600GS controller.
Both pads come in both Mega Drive and US Genesis themes and different colours.
Pictures of the 6 button pad in both Mega Drive and Genesis themes attached
(I have the Clear Blue Megadrive themed one, as in 2nd attached picture below).
Retrobit official listings: https://retro-bit.com/sega-genesis-6-button-arcade-pad-with-usb-clear-blue.html
8 Button: https://retro-bit.com/sega-genesis-8-button-arcade-pad-with-usb-clear-blue.html
The controllers are also available on Ebay and Amazon in both Mega Drive and Genesis themes (prices vary).
I also tried an original 6 button Mega Drive controller in the DB9 port, it works with A&B buttons as Amiga buttons 1&2.

The Gamesir Nova Lite gamepad works well in wired mode and also using the supplied USB receiver.
I have also managed to pair it with bluetooth and working in Nintendo Switch and Android connection modes (no luck with DS4 mode).
