Vectrev controller


Recommended Posts

My Vectrex came without a controller so I'm building my own Vectrev controller.[emoji16]

I bought all the parts on Ebay. Here are the item numbers for some of the main bits.

Case 201121453748 4708868298041394cecae1811a4af87b.jpg

Joystick 253169946622

Buttons 282696073230

The case turned out to be a bit small but it'll do for now.

Here's the circuit and the board I made.

And the case with the buttons and joystick fitted.

I've just got to wire it up when the plug and cable arrive. I should have the replacement transformer by then for my console.

Can someone tell me which are the most commonly used and least used button numbers so I can wire the red button as most and blue as least used.

Cheers Trev

4 is the most common, working back to least common. So 3 next common and 2 and 1 seldom being used.

I might try these parts if I make a second controller and put the buttons in a diamond formation on the right.
