2600 joystick LED's!

[27ace27]

Everyone's put LED's on an NES controller right? well we put some on an atari 2600 controller! tell us what you think of it! @ This link. I will mod your controller for you into v1 for $5 + shipping, drop me a PM, but I'd wait for v2 for a better job ($10-20) Consult the instructable with questions, and if it doesn't answer your question, PM me.

Nice Work! I like the idea of putting LEDs on an original Atari 2600, it gives it more of a contemporary look.

BTW: Tell me when v2 comes out b/c i might buy one.

Great idea but I don't think I like it with a LED on the fire button.

I think the V2 will be Awesome...esp for say a 7800 controller!

[HFK]

Illuminated fire button would be much nicer. I kind of like the idea of a 'ring' of light around the joystick, hmm, just a thought.

Great idea but I don't think I like it with a LED on the fire button.

True, the LED should be underneath it and the button be a vacuum formed transparent plastic.
