Compatible with original and backward-compatible Atari hardware for extended usability
Summarized by Shop
The CX78+ Wireless Gamepad is a recreation of the radical two-button controller Atari released with the original 7800 in Europe. Wirelessly connects to your new 7800+ and 2600+ AND it works with original 2600 and 7800 hardware using the included DB9 wireless adapter. You can even connect it to a PC with the included USB-C adapter.

It's an okay controller. The thumbpad isn't as sensitive and responsive as the original Atari joystick (or other thumbpads for Nintendo systems), but the wireless feature is great. You can sit far away from the monitor and still react to game action. But nothing beats the modern, PS4/5-styled controller from the Atari VCS!

I like that the control pad is wireless and rechargeable allowing freedom of movement instead of movement being limited to the distance of a cord.
