− | The '''Control Pad''' (Product No. 3020) is the joypad which comes packaged with [[Sega Master System]] systems. The joypad connects to the SMS via a [[DB-9|DE-9]] port, so it is also compatible with the Commodore 64 and Atari 2600 and partially compatible with the [[Sega Megadrive]]. Resembling the 1st generation NES pads, three versions exist:
| |
− | #Three button/mini-joystick. Once the thumbpad button cap was removed, a small "thumbstick" could be inserted.
| |
− | #Three button. The third button sits recessed in the center of the thumbpad. The button has no function during gameplay.
| |
− | #Two button. The thumbpad button as been entirely removed. This version is most commonly associated with the SMS II when it was introduced.
| |

− | There are also two versions of the 'standard' control pad; there is a model where the wire connecting the pad to the console runs out of the top of the pad - i.e. directly opposite the player - and a different model where the connecting wire runs out of the right-hand side of the pad, close to its top-right corner.
