Littlejohn –
A genuine Atari 2600 joystick, used but very good. Never thought these would be hard to find, but it seems so now. Works fine.
Murray –
Works great and was in very good shape for the age of the product
Ken Ross –
shop was very nice and controller was basically new.
Mikk Jolly –
The controller is a little stiff, but seems to work fine. It is in pretty good shape, lacking any scratches/marks.

Ordered two of these for use with emulators and my real Commodore 64. The joysticks are not exactly like the original – missing the rubber foot pads, missing the orange paint on the top, use black screws instead of the original silver, thinner plastic, and produce a noticeable pop when moved around from the pressure pads. The pop sound is caused by the pressure sensitive pads on the PCB – for some reason the PCB is covered by very thick transparent plastic, rather than the thin plastic coating the original joysticks used. It is also sandwiched/back-faced – the bottom side of the circuitboard is masked with another opaque plastic layer covering all the traces and solder points which would make it more difficult to repair the wiring. The spring used for the fire button is wider than the original Atari joystick spring, and the PCB is smaller. With all of that said, (made in Taiwan), the functionality is the same and the feel is similar. If you are looking to exactly duplicate the real experience, then you would want to find the real Atari joysticks.I can’t recommend using these for games like Track & Field, Summer Games, Winter Games, (any of the Epyx games), Hunchback Olympics, etc etc – any game requiring repetitive motion will most certainly break these controllers due to the thinner than optimal plastic stick.

I know it is a old system but the joystick works.

Received order as pictured and stated, works great and now I can play the updated console with it, since the wireless ones provided had no control
