Why so few available? When will more be made?
 
Why so few available? When will more be made?
Ordering the parts from various places, collecting parts for the kits (and marking the unmarked chip capacitors) and preparing the gamepad shells (disassembling the usb gamepad, removing the face buttons sticker, drilling hole for the led, cutting and applying the logo sticker and cheat sheet sticker) all takes time.

I will set up a new thread soon were you can get the essential parts from me (PCB, preprogrammed Atmega processor and stickers) and then get the gamepad shells and cables (and even components) from somwhere else. This way I will be able to supply more kits, the usb gamepads and cables I use for the KTRL CD32 are readily available.

Here are instructions I have been working on lately: http://www.daemonbite.com/ktrl/. I should get more components in a few days, then I will set up the new thread.

If there are ever any assembled kits going in the future, I'm 100% keen. Sadly, the assembly is beyond me.

I have set up another thread here: https://www.amibay.com/showthread.php?101948-KTRL-CD32-PCBs-and-Components . Any new orders should go through that thread since I (at least currently) don't offer the cables and gamepad cases.

It's possible, currently I'm not selling any assembled gamepads, sorry. Maybe you can find somebody that can assemble a gamepad for you?

That's totally understandable. Hopefully there will be a means to purchase these assembled eventually :) I'm pretty intrigued by the wireless version too, so I'm happy to wait a while and see where this goes.

Edit: Out of interest, will the wired/wireless have full functionality on an a1200? I see a lot of mention of the CD32 and C64. Are there certain revisions of a1200 boards that don't work well with the gamepad so far?

The wired and the wireless versions in general work on Amiga 1200 but on some machines there can be problems. I have updated some component values that I know have fixed the problems some were having but I can't guarantee it will work on all machines. Even the original CD32 gamepad doesn't work on all Amiga 1200 machines. From what I have read, A1200 Rev. 2B has problems even with the original CD32 gamepad. I can't say which board is best with the KTRL CD32, I have tested it on a Rev. 1A, Rev. 1B and Rev. 14D successfully, but then again I have had a few reports of the gamepad not working on the 1D4 (the new component values fixed the problem for one user that replaced the components). If it works on your machine then it will have full functionality (working as a CD32 gamepad or as a 2-button gamepad depending on the game).

The CD32 gamepad (original and the KTRL) does not have full compatibility with the C64 due to that it interferes with the keyboard (four keys can't be used when the gamepad is connected if I remember correctly), otherwise it works fine.
 
I've finally found time to assemble my kit, it's working sweetly and really improves gameplay on many games ! Thank you VERY much Witchmaster !
 
Is there anybody who is able to assemble a kit for me? I would so love one of these, but have absolutely no knowledge of electronics :(

If there is please let me know what this would cost.

same problem for me, wouldnt have the foggiest on how to put 1 of these together, never even seen a soldering iron in the flesh,much less used 1 lol
 
I'm in the same position , would like to buy, but no knowledge of electronics either :(

I'm soldering a couple of KTRL CD32 gamepads at the moment that I will sell for 45€ a piece + shipping. Send me a PM if you are interested in one! I will wait a few days for PMs from Relovay, xubidoo and gebes.
