I've got 4 of the ones with purple buttons, they're not too bad.

Purple buttons are just wrong, though.

They are but for £3 each I don't care too much, can always swap them out with official pads.

Didn't the Super Famicom originally have the purple buttoned pads?

I don't think so. I think it was just the US SNES, which was also completely the wrong shape.

The US-style gamepads also had concave X and Y buttons.
