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

[ChaosLord]

Ergosticks
Sega Genesis pads
PS/2 Lasermouse

And various other joysticks and pads.

On my A1200: Logitech optical USB mouse with a DB9-USB adapter from ebay and both a Quickshot Joystick and a Competitor PRO CD32 Pad switchable with a Robo Mach2 device.

On my A2000: Alfa Data trackball as a mouse and no joystick or pad at the moment.

On my A500 Plus: my old 3d party Primax mouse bought as a replacement of the tank mouse in 1995 and another model of Competitor Pad or an Amiga Hyperpad.

My other miggies are not hooked at the moment.

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)

How are people getting optical mice to work?  As serial devices with a serial to PS2/USB adaptor and a driver?  If so what driver?

[ChaosLord]

Buy a PS/2 mouse adaptor from your local Amiga dealer.  No driver required (unless you want to activate the scroll wheel).

A1200 and CD32 both have Brand new Amiga mice.  Raymond has a box filled with unused original mice.  I have CD32 Joypads that I use for games.  And Genesis pads modified to work with both buttons.

Competition Pro 5000 (regular ones and minis)
Zipsticks
Tac II

I seem to be rotating between the above with prefering which to use.

Hi,

Go to Amigakit.

http://www.amigakit.com

They have 2 or 3 items for the Amiga to use modern day mice and keyboards. I use a Microsoft mouse and keyboard on my Amiga 4000. I done did wore out my keyboard, and I refuse to pay the prices that ebay is asking for an ORIGINAL AMIGA 4000 KEYBOARD.

These items are cheap and work very well.
