Today's tip: $4.55 joypads

Thanks for the info, a nice find indeed. I ordered 2 immediately. I love dealextreme and their worldwide free shipping.

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. I guess I'll add them to the lot when I'm selling my extra Megadrive and keep the Sega pad...

Well, I guess I overreacted a bit. They are decent for the price, but compared to Megadrive pads...
They really seem small to me - when I hold them with my fingers only, it's ok, but I'm used to holding pads in my palms and that's impossible with these.

I only tried Sega pads on Amiga two days ago for the first time, but I too was also able to use 2 buttons for 2 different actions without any tinkering. Can't remember the game now though...
