Review on πŸ”Œ Enhance Industrial Connectivity with Your Cable Store's 10 DB15 Electrical Solution by Mido Taylor

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The perfect extension for Atari 5200 controllers!

If you are an old Atari 5200 gamer, firstly I want to say that I feel your pain, and secondly, if you want to solve the problem of the 5200 controller's absurdly short cables, this is your ideal solution. There is no lag when using the cable and all functions are intact. I would like to point out that when you connect your 5200 controller to this extension cable, the metal clip on the end of the extension cable will clip the small plastic tab on the outside of your Atari controller connector that helps secure it to the console. when connected directly. I tested mine to see if it held firmly to the console after cutting that tab, and indeed it still does, so it's not a problem for me, but you should know what to expect when you get this one buy cable. Inserting the controller cable plug into the extension cable socket requires some effort, so you may need help if you find it too difficult to connect. Once connected, it works like a charm.

Pros
  • A DB15 socket
Cons
  • New competitors are here
