CX78+ Wireless Gamepad

Works great! Playing my old Atari games with this controller is totally different but fun! Younger people will feel at home with this controller setup.

I've been trying to add wireless control options for all of my retro consoles. This game pad works very well with my Atari 2600, 7800, XEGS, and 130XE. d-pad feel good and is responsive. I don't feel like I have to push it hard or to extremes to register a direction. Diagonals are easy to hit but not too easy that I have trouble maintaining a straight line. Buttons are responsive and have a soft click when they are activated. I will likely be purchasing more of these or the wireless CX40 so I have at least one on each machine. I may even give it a try on my 1040 ST and Colecovision. Only thing I would ask the company to add would be turbo buttons or switches.

First time I have ever used one of these. A lot easier to use than the old joysticks. Of course having to relearn how to play old games is sometimes a challenge!! 😂

I got this as an additional controller for the Atari 7800+ since it only came with a single controller. It works fine and it's the same as the one that comes with the console so if you're playing 2-player games, you'll need this or something compatible with it.

It’s good, feels good in your hands & it rarely needs charging & I use it a lot. It does have some issues w/ the D-pad not reacting as fast as I’d like & multi-directional inputs are not always smooth for games like Berzerk or (7800) Ms. Pac-Man, where timing is everything. There aren’t many better choices, so for now this may be the best we have. Also the inclusion of the usb dongle is a nice touch, and its range is 8-10 feet easily. I can’t give it anything better than 3stars, mainly based on the D-Pad inputs, which (again) can prove crippling in games needing diagonal inputs like Dark Chambers.

Great controler, very confortable on the hands. It works well I didn't feel any lagging while playing. If you are looking for a great controler for your atari then don't look further because this is the controler for you.

Fantastic! Awesome!! wireless. Works great with original hardware.

Sorry to say it, but these controllers just don't do it. Wireless lags too much to play games. Switched to the wired version and it works great now. This controller is not compatible with the game they send out with the Atari 7800+ (Crystal Bears) and we had nothing but problems with it. The buttons are small, do not operate smoothly, and overall feel "cheap" and the know is going to break for most people I figure. Returned the one we bought and I am selling the one that came with the Atari thru eBay. Never getting a wireless controller again. Waste of time and money. 45 year old wired black Atari 2600 joysticks work better. Garbage. Just garbage.
