The one that comes with the little joystick in the center. I ask, because here in the USA, the 3-button CD-i controller, that looks like a Genesis/Mega Drive controller, is incredibly expensive.

In Europe the CD-i touchpad controller 22ER9017 is incredibly expensive, the little joystick is mostly missing.dave4shmups wrote:The one that comes with the little joystick in the center.

It does the job, has a 2-speed switch.
22ER9017 CD-i Touchpad
22ER9021 CD-i Gamepad
Has a 3-speed switch, for games only I would choose for this one, its handier.
22ER9011 CD-i Mouse
For professional and educational use, as I do, I would recommend this one.

It depends. Personally, I never cared for it due to their being slight lag/delay from when you press something to when something happens on screen. Other than that, the controller is comfortable enough. I prefer to stick with the mouse for most games since there is no lag and it's the most precise, although in some cases (like Mutant Rampage Body Slam) a controller feels necessary.
As far as expensive, it depends on who you get it from. On eBay, yeah, it's going to be really expensive. From a collector though, the price will be much more reasonable. I got my controller from a fellow collector here cheap, and I have seen them pop up cheap at other niche retro gaming forums.
