+sramirez2008 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Yup, I picked up two pairs of paddle controllers last year at the old price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynicaster Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Are these a good substitute for the real thing? Also, has anybody ever used the CirKa products? https://www.amazon.com/CirKa-Atari-2600-Premium-Joystick-Controller/dp/B01M188I0X/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1487277263&sr=8-8&keywords=cirka The joysticks I have are all a bit flaky so I was looking to spend a few bucks and get up and running with 2 good sticks. Options being considered are these Atgames ones, the CirKa ones linked above, and refurbishing the ones I have with the kit from Best Electronics.

+save2600 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I don't know about the CirKa products, but the Atgames sticks feel real odd compared to the original CX40. The throw is long, stick feels loose and is unnatural feeling comparatively. Don't get me wrong, glad they exist and they're certainly better than an old worn out stick, but there's better choices to be had. Am familiar with the cheapie Chinese knockoffs usually sold in pairs on eBay and they unsurprisingly, feel like crap. I'd wholeheartedly recommend refurbishing your old ones with Best parts. Have done so with nearly all of mine now and couldn't be happier. Bet you'll love the crisp tactile feeling of them once done and besides the gold boards, don't forget to order new red buttons and the actual white stick itself. Maybe even new rubber boots if yours are bad too. Can get a little pricey refurbishing, but it's worth it. Or can just purchase new sticks from Best. While they're not as nice feeling as refurbishing old, they're better than most of the new stuff being produced today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sramirez2008 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Th AtGames paddles are pretty good. I really like them. As for CX-40 replacements, I agree with save2600. Best Electronics is the way to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maiki Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 The question: Best Electronics or this? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinks Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Read the reviews these are beyond junk. Tons of used paddles you can clean the pots on them and anythings better than a joystick that lasts for 5 minutes. The plastic is supposed to break on the sticks almost the first time you try it. Do the ice skating event on winter games and see if it lasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hizzy Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Buy the best elect sticks and paddles, or make your own stick with arcade parts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
