16-bit Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Hey everyone. I'm looking to get a new set of controllers for my 2600. All I have right now are these big clunky 3rd party ones. I'd like to get some originals, however I saw a lot of these on ebay: Ebay Conroller They're all brand new. Has anyone bought these? Do they work as well as the original controllers?

Foxsolo2000 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I didn't know anyone was still manufacturing these things. Still, if it is brand new worth a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Soldier Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Buy a flashback and use the controllers that come with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow460 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 The Flashback 2 has the CX-40B, which is a very solid controller. It's a cross between an Atari joystick and a D pad. My favortie was the Remote Control wireless joysticks that were made by Atari. Dunno why, they just were, and the lack of a cord was really nice.

A.J. Franzman Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 (edited) I have about 8 extra CX-40 Atari sticks. They're all used and have typical paint wear to varying degrees (except those that came with the Vader or Junior consoles, which never had the orange paint), but all work -- if they didn't work when I got them, I fixed them. Make an offer if you want some. See the first link in my sig for trades (cash is OK too). Edited January 12, 2007 by A.J. Franzman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starhopper Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 What kind of 3rd parties do you have? Pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

16-bit Posted January 13, 2007 Author Share Posted January 13, 2007 I don't have a pic right now, but they're Quickshot controllers. Made by a company called SVI. They have 2 buttons one on the base and one at the top of the stick. Thanks for the link Heavy6r. I didn't notice that post. Sorry about the repeat. I guess I'll start looking for a Flashback system then unless a find a good price on some originals on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
