I was wondering if they ever made a control pad (similar to the NES/Famicom one) for the MSX. All I can find on ebay are joysticks. I have seen a Super Famicom pad that was altered for MSX use, but I'd rather have an actual MSX pad, if that’s possible. Does anyone have any info about this?
Thanks,
Kevin

There were joypads specificly for MSX (mostly on Japanese market), but e.g. a Sega master system controller is compatible with MSX 
I use a Sega master system 1 contoller as joypad with my MSX

Wow, those are some crazy looking control pads! Thanks for the pictures. I didn't realize that SMS controllers work on MSX. I always use them on my Atari, but I didn't think of trying them on the MSX. That might be better than hunting down new controllers. Out of curiosity though, if I wanted to track down any of these MSX pads, would ebay still be my best bet or are there any online stores that might carry them?
Thanks,
Kevin

Hmm... Maybe you can find them in Ebay, but the best to get one is Yahoo Auctions Japan. I saw that kind of pads severals times there. Anyway, bare in mind that buying in Yahoo Japan is a bit hard, since most of the seller don't ship internationally.
