Atari 2600 Joystick Is Undercover Xbox 360
I for one prefer Xbox 360 and its controller just as it currently is. I will never try to mod an Atari 2600 Joystick lets say and turn it into an Xbox 360 controller. Others however will tell you differently. One Ben Heck has hacked his Atari 2600 controller and he transformed it into an Xbox 360 controller and baptized it the 3600 Controller.
We can only hope playing games with it is at least as fun as it was to make the device. And now that I think about it, I might try to transform an Xbox controller just to see if it can be done. If that ever happen I’ll let you all know. In the mean time you can always enjoy Ben’s piece of work.

This is very cool, I’d like to try it out, I just received my new USB Atari joystick from Legacy Engineering – the guys that made the Atari Flashback 2 game console, their joystick is USB, not wireless, but damned its perfect!
I bought it here:
