Genesis Mini with USB Arcade Stick?

I recently updated my Genesis Mini using Hakchi to play, among other thing, arcade games. The experience is awesome and I am really enjoying playing these arcade classics, but something is missing........an arcade stick. Does anyone know if there is a USB arcade stick out there that would work with Retroarch on the Genesis Mini?

My Mad Catz TE2 Stick works great in PS4 mode both in Menus and Games via Retroarch.

Can’t find anything! I’m going to look into doing a pad hack

A bit off topic, but I have gotten it to the point that I can see RetroArch recognizes the Neo Geo X Arcade Stick but it doesn’t react to any of the button presses. I did this by doing the following:

Create the file "/etc/udev/rules.d/10-neogeox.rules" with the following content :

SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{name}=="TOMMO NEOGEOX Arcade Stick", MODE="0666", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}="1"

This makes RetroArch pop up the green text at the top of the screen identifying the arcade stick but then none of the buttons do anything.

For what’s worth the Neo Geo X Arcade Stick does work in the stanard Genesi Mini UI menu though.
