beyondoasis Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 (edited) I've had my 520 for almost 3 months now and I've had no problems up till 2 days ago when my 5200 controller crapped out on me. Ive been thinking about buying one of these Wico controllers but I've been unsure. Is it worth it if you have the extra cash?

accousticguitar Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 They are good sticks, but not as good as the 2600 joysticks. If you can afford it, the redemption adapter sold in the AtariAge store is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I've heard the gold refurb kits for the stock controllers are good too. You mentioned you've been using them with no trouble, so if the ergonomics don't bother you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nester Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 The 2600 controllers are a little overrated in my opinion. I don't really get why people want to use them for ever atari system. I fear that my 5200 controllers are breaking down as well though so I may need to find my own solution. I actually think I would rather use a 7800 controller on the thing.

accousticguitar Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 They make a redemption adapter for 7800 sticks too. It's available at the AA store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
