MalakZero Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 I was wondering if anyone here has tried these out? They look like a fantastic use of the Pro-Line Joystick model. http://www.atarisales.com/cx30evolved.html Justin, The Professor, StormSurge and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look like a fantastic use of the Pro-Line Joystick model. http://www.atarisales.com/cx30evolved.html Hi MalakZero, thanks for the nice compliment, i am the one who engineered the CX-30 Evolved paddle controllers. they are out right now, i need to get more built. they work well, and are a bit faster than the original paddle controller. i was almost out of the original paddle controllers, when i thought about all of the Atari 7800 controllers i had left, and what to do with them? then i got a idea to convert them into dual-button paddle controllers. it took a while to find the right pots to use, you cannot use the original ones very well, they work, but just barely, it's tough to get them just right. then there was the glue problem. but in the end, it all came together, and voila! i engineered them, patent pending and all. i bought 1000s of proline joysticks from Atari, that were customer returns from Atari. at one time i thought "what am i going to do with all these?" today with the original paddle controllers disappearing, the CX-30 evolved selling, best electronics gold upgrades, my 7800 grip stick upgrade which requires a proline joystick cable, and another project i am looking at that will require more proline parts, i can see the end coming much much sooner than i ever thought. thanks for your interests Lance Justin, DegasElite, RickR and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 That is very cool! I'll bet they work very nicely and feel good in the hand. The original paddles are great -- another design that Atari nailed on the first try. But these look nice too.

Chris++ Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Lance rules, and has ruled for a very long time. I'm endlessly happy to see that Video 61 is still thriving. There's my 2K. MalakZero 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormSurge Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 These look awesome! I may have to pick up a pair soon. MalakZero 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalakZero Posted June 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Decided I need these in my life. As soon as I get a pair, I might write/shoot a review DegasElite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari 5200 Guy Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 I know that anything coming from Lance will be top-notch. I have been dealing with him since 1998 without any issues. I do wonder how these controllers slipped by me? I can say that the Grip Stick is a much needed accessory for the ProSystem.

MalakZero Posted May 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 These are a work of art. The buttons are clicky and responsive and the proline mold provides the right grip.....buy all of them... Justin and DegasElite 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DegasElite Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 They are great paddles, from what I understand. Amazing piece of engineering, I must say. Justin and MalakZero 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance! Aaron, have you tried sending email to Lance? He’s been responsive whenever I send email to place an order. I bought mine a couple of months ago but it didn’t show as back ordered then. Justin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
