What joystick/pads/ mice do you use with your amiga today?

[Andeda]

I have a collection of TAC2 joystics and i will use and repair them as long as possible. I cant play with any other joysticks and pads

[smerf]

What sort of controller devices do you use with your miggy today? What kind of mouse, joystick, pad etc?

Hi,

I use a Saitek game pad and a Microsoft mouse with my Amiga Forever, works great and have no problems.

Starcursor joystick. I really dont like many joypads, theyre too innacurate, double so on the amiga where jump is up more often than not. There are exceptions, especially with more recent styles of joypads (xbox360, playstation with analogue stick, etc.). The megadrive, sms, etc. style pads that use a dpad I really cant stand though. Even the much loved competition pro pads I cant stand. As for mouse, Im still using the original style amiga mouse

Comp Pro and Wico Joysticks ('cos they last).  I use gamepads on the Playstation.

Honey Bee CD32, have a couple of them..

Competition Pro, commodore mouse and amiga mouse.

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.

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

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.

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.

Rock on, yssing! The Honey Bee pads are great.... Deluxe Galaga uses EVERY button!

Alas, I only have one.. and many Amiga's ....

Dad's (RIP) Amiga's all had Epyx 500XJ joysticks. I have a couple Sega pads, but 3rd party.. I don't like the feel of 'em....

For mousing duties, mostly beige and black Amiga brand mice, one old C= one from a dead A500..

I have an AlfaData 'crystal' trackball, Amiga/ST switchable....

I had a USB light-up 'novelty' mouse w/ an adapter I bought off of Ebay.. but it stopped working.....

I really want an ArtPad for Dpaint5, and ArtEffect!!

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

I primarily use Atari 2600 joysticks with mine. Either originals or a Wico bat-handled one. Sega pads once in a while, but I prefer joysticks.

Original applicable mouse and keyboard all the way. I like my legacy machines to "feel" a certain way. Much of that feeling gets lost when changing out the things you first lay your hands on > input devices. Having said that, I don't require my MacMini running MorphOS to use an Amiga keyboard or mouse although I did hook an old IBM keyboard (the clicky kind) up to the Mini last night for shits and grins. Won't be keeping it on there, mostly because of its size, but I really do prefer white/beige keyboards to this chinsey looking and feeling modern black crap.
