UNTETHERED GAMING

Put as much body English into your high-score chasing as you want. Sit, stand, roam, dance…freedom of movement is yours.

THE OG

By 1983, one out of every five households in America had an Atari joystick.

ATARI+ PLATFORM

Atari+ Platform games and accessories are backward and forward compatible. Consoles, accessories, and games work together and are also compatible with most original accessories and cartridges.

PRODUCT FEATURES

The CX40+ joystick is designed just like the original. Hand cramps not included.

Tried and true technology since 1977, compatible with the new Atari 2600+ and all original Atari systems.

With more than 30 hours of play time per charge, this wireless joystick might even outlast your high scores!

The controllers work. It's nice not having to deal with cords. The best part is that they have a built-in rechargeable battery.

Amazing. Better if Had BluTooth

Amazing controller. Feels like the original. Just wish these controllers all had Bluetooth capability out of the box so I could connect it to my iPad and PC without dongles.

Free at last!!!

I’m free!!! The retro Atari experience without having to sit your tired GenX butt on the floor. I’m in heaven playing River Raid and Adventure from my couch. Can we have the wireless paddles next???

I've been waiting for these for years!

In my retro gaming setup, one of the banes of my existence was having to pull out the Atari 2600 console onto the floor every time I wanted to play it due to the incredibly short controller cables. This also meant I had to route the (also relatively short) RGB video cable out in front of the shelving so that it had enough length to reach the console once it was pulled out. Not very aesthetically pleasing.

These wireless joysticks have completely eliminated those issues (other than now I have to get up to hit the Reset button etc., but no big deal). The overall construction of these wireless joysticks is very solid, and they look and feel nearly identical to the originals. The wireless connectivity "just works" with no real setup involved. The stick movement does feel a bit different (less clicky) than the originals but dare I say it may be even better.

Thank you so much for making these, Atari, I'm so glad I snagged up two. Now, can we get some wireless Paddle controllers??
