Third party Dreamcast controller recommendations

[VR46]

Before you shoot me down in flames, after going back to DC controller for first time in many months, it feels too big and light - it's the exact opposite of the 360 pad I use almost daily and have really become accustomed to.

Anyway, realise there is a PS2-to-DC pad adaptor available, apart from this, are there any third party controllers/adaptors you'd heartily recommend ?

Thanks.

The MadCatz one is perfect for me: more ergonomical than the original, rubber antislip on the sides and a nice blue transparant look.

I find the official DC pad bordering on unusable these days Really uncomfortable, dunno how I used it for so long without screwing my hands up.

The Only option I'd go for on the DC is an arcade stick.

Tried using my pads a couple of days ago for a blast of Jo Jo & Street Fighter Alpha 3 but that raised D-Pad is quite clearly the most useless idea in game pad history, crippled my thumb after about 2 minutes on Street Fighter & having been really spoilt by my Hori PS2 Stick I just find it wholly unuseable.

I Think that as much as I love my DC it has now come to then end of it's life span

I think I will now replace all the fighters I so loved with their PS2 counterparts.

Only Ikaruga & Trigger Heart will make me keep it but Fighters are now only playable on the PS2.

Might be worth finding a Stick if you can instead of a 3rd party pad.
