Colecovision controller alternatives

[+atari2600land]

Is there an alternative controller, like from another console, that would work with the Colecovision? I ask because my Colecovision controller doesn't work very well.

I think you can place your wonky Colecovision controller into port 2 and use a standard Atari 2600 compatible joystick in port 1. You can use the keypad of the controller that is in port 2 to begin the game etc.

 

i believe this method works for most Colecovision cartridges

Retrogameboyz makes a keypad that in turn supports controllers from other consoles. I've gotten quite a lot from them, quality stuff.

I use the Atari Track & Field controller when i want to play Decathlon on my ColecoVision, a game which is a joystick destroyer, it was for the CV controller and other cheaper quality sticks i have anyway. The two white buttons pressed alternately to run is a much more ideal way to run than 'waggling' the stick back and forth, that's for sure. There's probably other CV games this controller will work with, i don't know for sure, it's been a while for me since i've been away from my vintage video gaming stuff for a while now,  life got in the way.

I have one Super action controller. I need a second one.

Any replacement for this?
