Today's tip: $4.55 joypads
« on: November 15, 2009, 08:08:37 PM »
This might be old news, but I thought I'd mention it to be sure.

Just received two of these from Deal Extreme. $4.55 each, free shipping worldwide:

Works great on Amiga, the only thing worth mentioning is that buttons B and C are Fire 1 and 2.  The other buttons have no effect.

If you're looking for a brand new, affordable joypad, get one of these.
Code 6502 asm or... DIE!!

Like save2600 said, it's a standard DB9F.  Connects directly to the Amiga's joystick port.

Btw, the DX joypads are crap, but I guess I can't complain at 4.55.

They are so small!!! My hands are tiny, but I still can't hold them for comfortable playing.


Really?  I'm quite pleased with the two joypads I got.  I think the size is just fine, and my hands are average in size, I suppose.
