T.A.P. Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I really like the look of them, and I'd kind of like to pick up a few, but I'm dreading the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarland Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Rather rare but not exceedingly. Vague answer because I don't know. A quick look on ebay I can find only two, and those are only included with XEGS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An alternative with a similar color scheme is the Wico Boss Joystick, a fair number of which are currently available on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=wico+boss+joystick&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_osacat=0&_odkw=xegs+joystick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarland Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Or look through pages and pages and pages of 'atari joystick' listings and you may find some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilsaluki Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Several years ago I paid about $25 for one. It works the same as the all black version. Glad I got it however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nezgar Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Maybe BEST or B&C might still have stock? I got one of these 7800 game pads from BEST a while back, somewhat rare in North America since they were for the Euro market: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got one of these 7800 game pads from BEST a while back, somewhat rare in North America since they were for the Euro market: I got several of these from Brad at Best 15 or so years ago for $15 a piece. I think he has raised the prices. I like them better than Painline controllers, but not as well as an adapted Jag controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voxel Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Got me mine when I got my XEGS of all things, think I treated it as a novelty, can't remember who I gave it to now. Currently on ebay UK: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GREY-ATARI-JOYSTICK-XEGS-XE-XL-400-800-ST-STE-STFM-etc-RARE-TESTED-VGC/224075525665?hash=item342bf12e21:g:sPAAAOSwvWVfCPwi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathy Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Hello guys I've bought two XEGS new years ago. One came wit the grey joystick, the other with the black one. So not every XEGS (that came with a joystick) came with a grey joystick. Sincerely Mathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+slx Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 It took me ages to sell a XEGS CIB but for the joystick at rather less than I would have expected as I could not get hold of the original joystick, just to stumble over a ridiculously cheap VCS plus XEGS joystick combo a year later. I think they are rather rare and rarely come up alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's priced in Competition Pro territory and I know which I'd rather have (he says looking at a Competition Pro). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
