5200 Digital Controllers - Post em if you got em

[RickR]

I got a digital controller recently, and it made a HUGE difference in the playability of many 5200 games.  Mine is the "Coin Controls Competition Pro".  It has a Y cable built in.  You plug that into the 5200, then a standard 5200 controller into the Y portion (you use the Start/Pause/Reset and keypad on the standard controller). 

 

Played River Raid and Berzerk and was amazed at the difference. 

 

The joystick itself is great, but the button placement is pretty bad.

I use Atariguy1021's Masterplay Clone with a Genesis controller works very well with all non analogue games. Recently pickup up a PC Controller to 5200 adapter. Have not tried it yet.

That would be awesome if someone in this day and age build a few adapters that can interface an Atari 2600 type joystick into the 5200. Biggest complaint against the 5200 was the controller issues.
