In the west it was distributed under the Competition Pro brand as the Professional Control Pad Series III (a "successor" to the Professional Control Pad Series II) and a model by Halifax known as the Virtual Joypad (or Virtual Series III) has also been spotted.

The Series III is a six button controller with turbo support. Both black and transparent variants of this controller exist.
