Another classic reimagined with modern parts to create a totally awesome controller!
Keeping with the original styling, but ditching the unreliable switches of the original and replacing with high quality microswitches in the directional control and 24mm arcade buttons for the fire buttons to create a much more reliable and totally accurate controller!
The body of the joystick is very rugged 3D printed tough plastic and as such can be customised to any colour of your choice.
The joystick is wired with standard Atari 9 pin D connector making it fully compatible with most retro computers of the 1980s and can be used with our DB9 to USB adapter making it the perfect choice for PC/Mac, Rasberry Pi or other emulated gaming systems.
The fire buttons are connected together (like the original) but can be individually wired if you prefer (please let us know which side would be button 1).

Really like this!
Andrew Field
Great Tac-2 inspired joystick that works extremely well. Looks great, nicely clicky and really has the feel of the original Tac-2. Much more reliable and dependable and this has become my favourite DB9 connected stick. Works brilliantly on Spectrum, Amiga and emulators. Highly recommended and great value.

For me it is not playable
Daniel Arnell
Very nice design, but for me it is not playable unfortunately. The same impression as for other joysticks I have tested recently, maybe it is me that just can not handle modern joysticks. The stick is rotatable (not fixed) so it feels like you have soap in your hands. You have no millimeter precision as in the original TAC2, you have to push the stick long until it clicks before it responds. The "click" mechanism is sluggish and loud. If I hold to the left for a couple of seconds, the left direction gets stuck in the game. I will have it on the shelf as a souvenir.
