Nice controller, I wish it was slightly bigger but it's not too small by any means. I love that the joystick unscrews, so you can use it as a d-pad which is better for some older games. I will say I occasionally get a combined input when I'm intending to move in a certain direction, but that is likely due to how small it is and my fat fingers. Works great on my original Atari 7800, and other reviews indicate that it works well on the newer "plus" systems as well. Glad I got these!

Hard to find reproduction, nice!

Atari made a great move to bring these controllers to the US, no more scouring on eBay for an original European 7800 controller for marked up prices. Great controller for the era of Atari.

Decent controller for the $! While the buttons

Decent controller for the $! While the buttons are a bit far apart, & the D pad isn't always super precise, it usually gets me through the tough spots in games just fine!

A great way to play

The gamepad you want for most Atari games. If you prefer wired over cordless then go with this one.

The controller is pretty close the original in function and feel

The controller is pretty close the original in function and feel. No problems using it on new atari+ or old 7800 consoles.

CX78+ Highly Recommended for your original Atari 7800 and all the games you can play on it!

I have an origional Atari 7800 and these CX78+ gamepads work amazingly! I like playing action/adventure games like Secret Quest, Dragon's Descent, and Deepstone Catacomb, and these controlers are PERFECT for these types of games. They work well on the other games I have too. Highly, highly recommended!
