Atari VCS - Wireless Modern Controller

These controllers feel great , and are well built ,but not as well made as the joypad. However the paddle function is a bonus ,and At $27 they're a steal.

Definitely brings back memories of the original Atari controllers. I was a little disappointed in how the rotary function worked, it seemed too sensitive and not as smooth as it might have been, but overall I'd say it's not too bad.

This controller feels alike old version. Designed for Atari VCS 800 console / PC hybrid. Not for 2600+ or 7800+.

I could tell the moment I unboxed this thing just how cheap it was. The joystick feels like that plastic roll inside of receipt paper, and it feels terrible to use, it's too short and has almost no tactile feedback. The spinner function is also unusable unless you have the actual VCS PC, otherwise it just registers as half of the analog X-axis and is useless. There's also a highly noticeable lag over wireless, which is better over a wire but I don't need another wired Atari joystick. This controller is literally a piece of junk with a pretty design, but don't let any of that fool you. Unless you plan to leave it in a shelf as a decoration, avoid this joystick like the plague and look into the Hyperkin Trooper 2.

5/5

I got this to use on my Atari 400 mini, works great.

For the price it's good. Works well.Wish it had a pong paddle on it.

It’s an okay feeling controller. Nothing to write home about. USB-C charging would have been nicer but it’s lacking here. I would not recommend this if you do not have an Atari VCS unit as that’s the only way to update the controller’s firmware. Unless you want to take a long and ridiculous route of converting a pc by reimagining it to be an Atari VCS.
