Unfortunately with a few exceptions, the state of affairs was as bad then as it is now.

Now, there are no excuses for D pads. They were never designed to replace a joystick, just to cut costs. Asking "what is the best D pad"? is === asking "are any NES/SNES platformers ported to Amiga?"
For pure performance/accuracy, maybe keyboard is the best? Some fighting game players use a hitbox(https://www.hitboxarcade.com) which replaces the joystick with buttons, basically like playing on a keyboard.

The Amiga supports Fire3 also
Wonder why there's still no controller that supports Fire3. Maybe if there was one current developers will make a game with 3 button game design in mind.

Kind of like the upcoming Dual Stick controllers from Abstraction Games which opens up new game design that can be made for the Amiga e.g Twin stick shooters.

I know there are CD32 controllers but doesn't that add input lag with it's serial protocol and so will require more processing power compared to just direct connection?
