Anyone has experience with these?

The Matt Boomrang CD32 pad isn't good, bad joypad for your hands.
I don't have those joystick but I can suggest you to look for a Suzo arcade joystick, ZipStick, QuickJoy Superstar SV-131. |

Basically I had to wait 6 months for a delivery from them. Communication with them is none existent when you try to chase things up. To add to your post though. I recently bought a 3rd party CD32 controller off a Ebayer which is quite nice. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Amiga-Cd3...-127635-2958-0 |

Don't know about the others but the Boomerang is the shittiest controller in the history of shitty controllers. I bought one for my CD32 and it is nigh on unusable., there's far too much travel in the buttons, they are not very responsive and when I cracked it open to see if it was possible to make it even marginally mroe rewsponsive I discovered the build quality is incredibly cheap. It doesn't even use proper PCBs, the circuit board looks like one of those cheap acid, etched copper boards.
The KTRL CD32 is a much, much better pad. |

I think you'd be better off with one of these Sega knock off pads from ebay. I got one and it's not great, but actually works, and as a second-choice controller is surprisingly okay. Last edited by dreadnought; 25 July 2021 at 16:50. Reason: Something with formatting. Why double line-spaces? |

There are users in the community that make excellent CD32 replacrment pads. (KTRL CD32+)
As for joysticks, get an old WICO instead ;-) |

I bought a mega drive clone controller for 7€ from they. It works. Is it good? Nope, it has sloppy buttons and dpad but for some casual play sessions, testing or as a secondary controller could be good given the ridiculous price.

The KTRL is sold out again, so not so easy to just order for the time being... ( https://www.daemonbite.com/product/ktrl-cd32-gamepad/ )

KTRL is a bit of a luxury item, being priced at 42E+VAT, which is probably ~60E. If I was in the market for something similar now I'd probably just buy a one of these safety adapters* for SEGA pads and try to source some original pad from ebay, and rewire it myself. Or stick with a joystick! (Arcaders/Monsters are quite affordable)
I also think that the TOM USB adapter I use for modern mouse also has joypad functionality, but I never got around to actually trying it yet. |
