-{{stub}}The '''SG ProPad''', and its six-button successor, the '''SG ProPad 2'''/'''SG ProPad 6''' ('''IMAGINEER DIGITALPAD MD''' in Japan), are two third-party controllers for the [[Sega Mega Drive]] developed by [[Recoton]] and their STD Manufacturing devision (being released under the [[QJ]] and [[InterAct]] brands). They are simple control pads with turbo features.
+{{stub}}The '''{{PAGENAME}}''', is a third-party controller for the [[Sega Mega Drive]] developed by [[STD Manufacturing]] (being released under the [[QJ]] brans). It is a simple control pad with turbo features.
-Three different variants of the controller were released. The original SG ProPad is a simple three button controller built similarly to a Super Nintendo controller (the shells were in fact recycled from Recoton's "SN ProPad" range). Later a six button variant was released titled the '''All New SG ProPad''', which merely adds a button and replaces a turbo switch for the MODE button.
+The SG ProPad was followed by the six-button [[All-New SG ProPad]] and [[SG ProPad 6]].
-The SG ProPad 2 and SG ProPad 6 have completely redesigned shells, utilising a function key to set each button's turbo speeds as opposed to cluttering the controller with switches. The two seem to be identical, though the ProPad 2 is far rarer than the ProPad 6.
