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-A adapter. • Directional D-Pad controller with removable thumbstick • Wireless connectivity via included DB9 and USB-A adapters • Multi-button control for 7800+ and 7800 games • USB-C charging cable (wall charging plug not included) Review: Great controller! - Works great! Playing my old Atari games with this controller is totally different but fun! Younger people will feel at home with this controller setup. Review: Good game pad with the added benefit of wireless! - I've been trying to add wireless control options for all of my retro consoles. This game pad works very well with my Atari 2600, 7800, XEGS, and 130XE. d-pad feel good and is responsive. I don't feel like I have to push it hard or to extremes to register a direction. Diagonals are easy to hit but not too easy that I have trouble maintaining a straight line. Buttons are responsive and have a soft click when they are activated. I will likely be purchasing more of these or the wireless CX40 so I have at least one on each machine. I may even give it a try on my 1040 ST and Colecovision. Only thing I would ask the company to add would be turbo buttons or switches. ## Features - UNTETHERED GAMING - Put as much body English into your high-score chasing as you want. Sit, stand, roam, dance…freedom of movement is yours. - THUMBSTICK OR D-PAD? Remove the C78+ thumbstick and use the standard D-Pad for directional movement. - ATARI+ PLATFORM - Atari+ Platform games and accessories are backward and forward compatible. Consoles, accessories, and games work together and are also compatible with most original accessories and cartridges. - ARE YOU POWER-READY? Includes a USB-C power cable but does not come with a wall charging plug for your outlet. You’ll need to pick one up if you don’t have an extra at home. - Big Red Button / 2 Button Madness - The CX78+ Gamepad is a faithful recreation of the original controller released in Europe. DB9 / USB-A Connector - Wireless connection via DB9 connector, compatible with the Atari 2600+, 7800+, and all original Atari systems. Original Controls - It’s just like you remember. Same size, weight, movement, and glory. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Color | Black | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Button Quantity | 2 | | Additional Features | Wireless | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Hardware Platform | Atari 2600+, Atari 7800+ | | Controller Type | Gamepad | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Compatible Devices | Windows | ## Images ![CX78+ Wireless Gamepad - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71c+FQTffGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great controller! *by J***N on December 25, 2025* Works great!
