    HOKEY demo

    Just wanted to say thank you for this! I'm on the Arcade side of this and the 5200, there will be definite interest from the Arcade community.
  2. Copper foil dot the contacts....never have to worry about it again......Also, for games that use analog style controls they work very well....but games that need digital style control they're not as optimal. For what they are inclined to do well with YES they do very well......in spite of that, a fixed one will still work for digital games...The 5200 should have come with 2 types of controllers....the original for analog style control, and another for digital. Missile Command is for example...best played with the Trak-ball.....but if not...a 5200 controller will destroy any digital controller in that context.
  3. Placed an order over the phone, was very cool to talk to...got my order fast. It's just old school, I got no problem with that. Just know what you want, pay with a card. Fast shipping and great packaging as always.
  4. Pretty cool, I remember that! My fav. role/scene from Mr. Keaton, never gets old, hilarious
  5. It's either one of the socketed chips or the sensor itself. Just get the rebuild kit from best, it contains all the chips bearings and the sensor stuff you'd ever need. Consider it replacement parts to keep it running for years to come. Price is not bad either. "CB103164 5200 CX52 Trackball Complete rebuild kit, a set of 5 complete CX53 Motherboard I.C. chips plus 2 Optocoupler modules and 5 New CX53 bearings $30.00"
  6. I've ordered from TNT, good people and great company. Congrats, Asteroids Deluxe is on my list!
  7. Thanks for the info! When I'm able to actually use these controllers I'll put that info to use! I was surprised on how good these controllers feel. Gravis stuff seems very high quality and the PC gamepad while I worried it would be awkward is just fine. Feels like a later console gamepad. All three very nice.
  8. Got these 3 controllers for a grand total of........10 dollars! Man, controller options for the 5200 are plenty!
  9. Another, would be perfect with the Trak-ball....would be awesome either way though!
  10. This is awesome. Folks here, how is the gravis pc gamepad's d-pad? I've heard conflicting stories. Some folks really love that controller.
