Looking for Controller

[digimat]

Hey All, I'm in search of an original controller for the Vectrex. Don't care if it's boxed or not. Checked on eBay and pricing seems redic. IF someone could point me in the right direction I'd be more that grateful. 

Thanks!

I think the easiest solution is the VecAdapt device, which enables any Sega Genesis controller to work on Vectrex:

These ship from Australia and prices are in AUD.

There was a guy named recycledgamer who had a website by that name where he sold various Sega and SNES controllers permanently modified for use on Vectrex. But his shop seems to be down and he may not be active anymore.

None of these options will work with Vectrex games that use analog joystick controls, but there are only a few of those.

To me the original Vectrex controller is still the most fun way to play. But I'm still searching for something I like better.

Original Vectrex controllers routinely go for $100 and higher, in good condition. Better off paying $200 for a console that comes with one.

He still has his YouTube channel, so you might want to try contacting him that way.
