NOTES ON VECTREX JOYSTICK OVERLAYS

Future joystick overlays will be WITHOUT numbers next to the buttons. This is so I can wire the buttons in different configurations. Some players prefer buttons 3 and 4 on the top row, while others prefer 1 and 2 on the top. This is also an option *see above*


I can also make joysticks the same as these, but with more / less buttons and in different patterns for different systems. Overlays aren’t designed & made for other systems yet, but I am working on them.

Here is a prototype for the BBC B Microcomputer (with future overlay)

 

 

 


Limited edition ‘BIG BOY’ Vectrex Pro Controller

This stick is in a bigger, non sloped box and uses full size 30mm Sanwa OBSF buttons and has a standard 35mm balltop.

 

 

 


NOT for sale

This is my own personal stick. it is a standard MB version, but with some fancy UV underfloor lighting! Powered by the Vectrex’s own +5v from the joystick port.
