WHAT IS THE CYCLONE VX?

KMTech PCB Design, the makers of the best-selling PS/2 mouse adapters on the planet now bring you the incredible Cyclone VX. The world's only commercially available Sony Playstation controller to Amiga Adapter.

With this kit you can control your Amiga with an official PSX controller - with gamepad vibration!

Uses a microcontroller and custom firmware for maximum flexibility and upgradeability.

Packed full of amazing features - some never before seen on a retro gaming device.

Just slot it into your joystick port and you're ready to rock!

Gamepad vibration! That's not a misprint - we bring rumble to an Amiga gamepad. We call it SonicRumble because of the way it works.

Rapidfire! Autofire is ok but everyone knows it can't fire as fast as your average gamer. Rapidfire is like autofire on steroids!

Second fire button support for games like Battle Squadron, Turrican etc.

The DPAD UP button is copied to the R2 button for enhanced control of platform games.

There's even a diagnostic mode to test all your Playstation controller buttons!.
