Modern Retro Joysticks for Real Amiga

What modern day retro joystick/gamepad do you use for your real Amiga?

I have tried several, including the new ArcadeR stick. The ArcadeR is way to loose and diagonals often get confused with left/right movements. I bought two of them and they both have the same issue.

KTRL CD32 gamepad is the best I’ve found. The older Competition Pro from IC is a good stick as well, but they aren’t available anymore.

I use an Xbox 360 wired controller with a Mouster DB9 adapter on CD32
Works like a charm in CD32 pad mode when the configuration of the Mouster is done.

Yep, mouSTer (with recent firmware) works perfectly fine in CD32 mode. Tested with several 8bitdo pads and the Arcade stick.

Yeah, you have to mod this stick. With a tighter spring, a Kowal oversize actuator and an octagonal restrictor gate. Then it's fun to play with.
