Those 360 controllers that looked like 2600 joysticks?

Post by noiseredux »

How come I can't find them on eBay? Maybe I'm just not sure the right thing to call them. I feel like they were pretty common, weren't they?

it kinda sucks, tbh


yeah that... that's the only one I could find for sale. I figured I was searching wrong as I thought they were fairly common.

because it looks cool. And because I felt like it would be kind of cool to play some retro arcade games with it that are on XBLA's Game Room. But mostly because it looks cool.

I saw one at a Gamestop a few months ago selling used. Certainly is an odd looking Joystick, does look like the 80s sticks. I tried the Gamestop site for maybe a better price then Amazon, but no luck in tracking down a specific SKU. Maybe it was sold as a 360 used controller?

Everyone yanks the ultra compact PCB to use in arcade stick conversions.
