+grips03 Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 I ordered bearings and spring receivers from Akishop as I've run out. I'll be able to build the last two in late July. If you still want one, now would be the time to let me know. I very much doubt I'll build anymore after these last too. I've been playing Kroz (another 4-way) game and it works very well for this type of game, same with Old School. I would think Ms. Pacman would work well too.

Oscar G. Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Hey guys, recently I tried playing Tron Deadly Discs and Nightstalker using Grips Arcade Controller AND a second INTV controller installed in port 2 (I used a Sears Controller as I prefer the Bumpy Keypad for tactile memory). I used this configuration to exploit the functionality on these games that allows to fire and shoot in a different direction simultaneously (for more info you may want to check the "Super Controller" thread HERE. I am extremely surprised and pleased with the experience as it was quite easy to play with the two controllers simultaneously. Grips controller was resting on my lap and with my right hand I used the keypad of controller 2 to shoot while moving. For me this is way more comfortable than trying to hold two normal controllers (having one normal controller on each hand ends up being a balancing act). This is where Grips arcade controller shines as the base of the controller holds the controller and not the hand. In fact, Night Stalker and TronDD really benefit from a two controller configuration: using Grips controller for movement and a normal controller on the right hand for firing. This is another use for the excellent Arcade controller from Grips. Cheers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stc2009 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Big recommendation for these controllers, they work great and bring the arcade style games into their own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can personally attest to this being the case. Everyone who has bought a "grips" arcade controller will be in for a real treat if they decide to buy Ms. Pac-Man, which is soon to be released. Thanks so much for this controller. It's a gem! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"If" they decide to buy Ms Pac Man Carl???? If?? I think the real question is how many. The game will be as fantastic as these controllers are. I love them for Old School in particular. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscar G. Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Grips' Arcade Controller + Mrs. Pac Man = Fun guaranteed. Looking forward to 2015. Best wishes to all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+grips03 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 I have some parts left over, so if folks really want a 4-way controller to play Ms. Pacman let me know. I will also now sell a pcb kit for $60. You would provide everything besides the pcb. I'll update post 1 with details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+nurmix Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 [pipe dream mode ON] If these could be reversed, with joystick on the right, and buttons on the left, I'd be all over it. [/pipe dream mode OFF] My brain is hard-wired to play Intellivision games with my right hand controlling movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy62 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Thank you Grips 03 for making my controller left handed, just as I am! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+grips03 Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 [pipe dream mode ON] If these could be reversed, with joystick on the right, and buttons on the left, I'd be all over it. [/pipe dream mode OFF] My brain is hard-wired to play Intellivision games with my right hand controlling movement. I have one bare case that can be used, see pics below. It will cost more due to needing a joystick added and custom cut for keypad, buttons, joystick, etc. It might look best with a wood type control panel overlay added as well. I have Sanwa and Seimitsu joysticks here. It might work best with a Seimitsu LS-33 (compact joystick). LS-32 or LS-40 might be ok if you don't mind tall joysticks. I would stick with (3) 24mm and perhaps add a 4th button for pause (1+9 / 3+7) shortcut. I do have 30mm buttons if preferred. PM me if interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+grips03 Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 bump, I have 3 completed pcbs if you want to DIY your own controller. I also have have the ability to make 3 controllers using the above PCBs. After that I think I'm done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradd1978 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Recieved mine the other day and it is worth every penny. Dave has really gone the extra mile taking great care in assembling these with high quality parts. The buttons and joystick are like butter during gameplay. I can't recommend this enough. Thanks again Dave for providing such a great item to the community ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
