Notes

A ColecoVision hand controller fitted with a lengthened stick and an arcade-style ball top, from 2019.

What it changes

  • The stock controller's stub of a stick is short enough to be worked with a fingertip, which is why long sessions on it are uncomfortable.
  • A longer shaft and a ball knob turn it into something closer to an arcade stick, held in the whole hand.

It is a rebuilt Coleco controller rather than a new one, so the keypad and connector are original - the point of the range being comfort without losing the keypad a ColecoVision game needs.
