We have these newly manufactured, we will be adding them to the webstore this week- thank you.

I have a few older models of these things, and although they work well with most controllers, they don't work with CD32 controllers.

If the new ones that Amikit have made support CD32 controllers I'd grab one of those ones over any older model.

does not work with A1200 :-(

I have one of the newer Amigakit switchers on my A1200 and it is great - I would go for one of these once they are back in stock if I were you.

i had to switch 5 lines to make an adapter that works like this. the ones ready made switch only 2 lines i think. gnd and 5v is not enough for the cd32-pads.

The new ones we have will work with CD32 pads - we have ensured this before putting them into production.

Hi - I got mine from you in Feb 2009... do you think my one will have CD32 Pad compatibility?

Hey Peter, if it's the beige model with "JOYSTICK" and "MAUS" and a logo that says "TS" in a liney font, then it won't work with the CD32 pads (at least, not the extra buttons).

I'm hanging out for these new ones from AmigaKit, they'll be perfect for the cocktail arcade cabinet project I'm going to build. It'll have an A1200 in the heart, with built-in joysticks on the cabinet, but also external plug holes so you can plug in a controller, sit back and play without hunching over the cocktail cabinet. It'll have a monitor inside it, but also have S-Video-out, so it can be hooked up to the main games room TV for when we just wanna sit back on the couch and play games. It'll have KGLoad and all the WHDLoad games installed on it, as well as all the newest Amiga internet software and a wireless PCMCIA card (all inside the cabinet) so we can browse the web and chat from the games room TV (it'll either have an external PC keyboard port or a wireless PC keyboard if the Lyra supports it, if not I'll just use a wireless USB keyboard with the Subway). Best of all, with a large glass top on it, we'll have somewhere to rest our chips and drinks .

We are working hard to get the joystick switchers added later this week.

Sounds like you need a spare pair of hands

LMFAO, your one crazy guy,

Gordon · 05 February 2010, 20:20

FOL/amigakit.com, sorry if this is a silly question. Will it work with a joystick/CD32pad as well as a mouse combination? Because some games i like joystick, some i like the pad.
