Commodore Amiga Gamepad

EDIT 18.02.2020: Updated with better bottom pieces and better D-pad. The switches for the D-pad are closer together, giving more leverage withthe D-pad. The new D-pad has angles by each direction, reducing the chance of mis-clicking diagonally. I designed a gamepad for the Amiga. Shaped like a SNES controller, with a more comfortable bottom, and with the typical Amiga joystick clicky action. A regular SNES-like bottom (Gamepad03.stl) is also available. Apply pieces of double sided tape to the underside of all the buttons to give a less hard feel. Leave the protective film on the double sided tape. Use 6x6x7mm tactile switches: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Momentary-Tactile-Push-Button-Switch-6-6-4-3-15mm-Mini-Micro-Small-PCB-Mounted/263259205523 Wire the switches according to the pinout in Amiga22.jpg. I wired mine up with lengths of wire and glued then into the bottom half of the gamepad with a drop of superglue under each switch. The sliding switch is there to turn the rightmost button into an "up" function so that you can play without having to use the D-pad to jump. You can wire it so that it switches between button 2 and up, or however you like. This switch is a drop in fit, but many other switches can be used by filling the gaps with tape or hot glue: https://www.ebay.com/itm/5-Pcs-DC-50V-0-5A-2-Position-DPDT-2P2T-PCB-Mount-Vertical-Slide-Switch-6-Pin-DIP/323744692280 Use a M3x8 mm pan head screw in the center under the D-pad, as shown in one picture, to function as a pivot. Adjust the screw height until desired feel is achieved. I like to set it so that I can't push all four directions simulataneously.
