I figured I should answer my own question too :)

Got 2 splitter devices (one is a roboshift, the other looks like a kitbash). Each port has a mouse plugged in (one is an A1200 style mouse, that I love to death, the other is a tank mouse) and a joystick or pad.

The ones I use primarily:

A new comp pro (nice, accurate, but only primary buttons)
A wico bat handle (annoyingly does not work as a two button stick(
CD32 comp pro pad. (excellent but a bit worn out, so you have to push the buttons pretty hard)
Gravis gamepad (amazingly awesome)

Picked up a genuine sega master system pad last night but... only works with 1 button. Damnation.

Did you resolder the pins first or just plug it in an amiga and use it?  Because you have to make a small modification to the inside before it will funcion right in an amiga.  I have about 6 of these  and modded most myself.

This is someones Adventure in making the contorler work.  And should help you get at lease a 2 button controler.  

I personally didn't to the resistor and Mine works.  With the 1200.  But now that I have CD32 Pads I'm using those for Nastalgia :D


No soldering yet, though my mate who gave it to me, has some soldering gear, so maybe that'll be an adventure.

I do have a CD32 one, but its kind of worn out. You have to push the buttons really hard for it to work proper.

Competition Pro5000, Zipstick, TAC-II, le Stik, BOSS, Quickshot 2, Competition Pro CD32 pad, Sega SF2 6 button pad, and one the has a pistol grip (forget the name).

edit:I'm assuming we mean REAL Amiga not emulators.


Thats what I figured, but for what its worth, for emulation, I have a logitech PS2 looking gamepad, as well as an actual PS2 adapter.

I only really do emulation for C64 though.

You could have just bought a Sega Genesis then you would not need to modify anything.

well, this one was free, but I'll look for a genesis pad.
