You are looking at a custom made 2 button gamepad that is shaped as the very popular NES controller made for Tandy 1000 / TRS-80 Color Computers.
This gamepad is compatible with various retro Tandy computer systems, including the Tandy 1000 family of computers and TRS-80 Color Computer family of computers.
I was tired of my retro PC joystick having issues every time I wanted to play it that I decided to 3D print my own gamepad housing and get some nice resin buttons and dpad. I have 3D printed this in PLA with 20% infill as it is much stronger that way. This will hold up much better than your classic retro joysticks.
It contains a custom-built PCB with proper wiring to support 1 and 2 button gameplay on Tandy and Color Computer systems, making it compatible with 2-button games. All parts are brand new— including the PCB, conductive silicone button pads, a 6-pin DIN 4 1/2 ft cable, and the case, which is 3D printed on an FDM printer.
This will work for the color computer 1/2/3 or Tandy 1000 family of computers. Please note that this has an analog-to-digital converter inside so it will work without the need of an analog joystick. This is also wired for you to be able to use 2 buttons, this may also work with the Dragon 32/64 but you will need to remove the center pin on the 6 pin din as the Dragon computers only have a 5 pin din. Also, this will disable the second fire button.
This gamepad has been confirmed to also work on Tandy 1000 TX, EX, HX as those are the computers that I own, but should typically work with all Tandy 1000 computers with a 6 pin din joystick connector.
All parts on this are brand new (new PCB, membranes, buttons and case are 3D printed).
Please note that these are 3D printed and not plastic molded there may be some imperfections as they are not 100% perfect.
