I just ordered a sega master system controller, should be fully compatible.

I would avoid using a Sega gamepad with a Commodore computer. 1. the pinouts are different, especially where the +5V line is. 2. Master System controllers have pull-up resistors, where Atari standard controllers just leave pins floating. This can screw with the keyboard. Apparently some controllers use active circuitry which require the +5V line. I have even heard of them borking the CIA chip in the Commodore.

My advice would be to get a proper controller that has internal microswitches rather than the cheaper contacts that wear out.
