Atari - CX40+ Wireless Joystick
Authenticity and style – “The OG”
The CX40+ is a faithful recreation of the original controller that could be found in one in five American homes by 1983. It features the legendary large red “Big Red Button” and a flexible rubber joystick cover, delivering the same experience as the classic model, but without restrictive cables.
Wireless freedom and performance
No more tangled cables. Wireless technology lets you play freely in any position—sitting, standing, or even moving around the room. The built-in rechargeable battery provides over 30 hours of continuous gameplay on a single charge, so the controller can last longer than your best high scores.
Dual connectivity: DB9 and USB-A
The package includes two wireless adapters, making this joystick exceptionally versatile. The DB9 adapter allows connection to the new Atari 2600+ and 7800+ consoles, as well as original Atari 2600 and 7800 hardware. Meanwhile, the USB-A adapter enables quick connection to a PC.
Atari+ Platform ecosystem
This accessory is part of the Atari+ platform, ensuring full backward and future compatibility. This means that joysticks, consoles, and games from this series work seamlessly together while remaining compatible with most original accessories and cartridges from years ago.
Modern USB-C charging
Despite its classic appearance, the CX40+ uses today’s power standards. A USB-C cable is included for convenient battery charging.
