I’ve got a few months break from my part-time job over winter which is allowing me to focus on my controller work. I’ve got a lot of things I want to make progress including: I’m currently working on the firmware for the limited edition Winter Warfare controller as that’s going to have some special additions … Read more

I’ve known Alexis for a while now, and his passion for gaming always shines through. His latest video takes a deep dive into the legendary Vectrex, showcasing some of the awesome custom controllers available for it. I’m excited to share that he features not one, but two of my creations – the Lunar Lander and … Read more

This week, after taking an 18 month break from ‘real’ work, I started a part time job so controller work has slowed a little. I’m continuing to work on the Winter Warfare special edition Vector Tankage controller design and am exploring some additional functionality options (more on that another time). I’m also continuing to fulfil … Read more

I’ve been working on a very (just 5-10 units) limited edition Vector Tankage controller prototype. It’s all white with lashings of wonderful UV reactive/glow-in-the-dark accents. I’m calling it the “Vector Tankage: Winter Warfare” edition. Not sure if I’m going to make it yet but if I do you’ll find out first here! In the meantime, … Read more

I’m approaching the end of building the initial batch of orders that I took once I announced the Vector Tankage (Battlezone) controller was ready. This means it’s time to restock on parts so that I’ve got everything I need in hand to make any future orders (which hopefully will come) my aim is to have … Read more

We recently posted a short video covering the Vectrex/Atari side of the electronics that power our multi-platform twin stick Vector Tankage controller. We’d love to hear whether you’d like a more in-depth dive into this side of the controller design so leave a comment if you’d like to see more of this type of thing.

As there’s only one of me I like to optimise my manufacturing where possible, so for the last couple of days I’ve been focussed on making the various electrical sub-assemblies that make up some of the almost 200 individual components that go into each controller. These include the PCBs that are it’s brain, the various … Read more

I spent a the weekend preparing for this week’s Vector Tankage controller builds, making the various assemblies that make up each controller. Switches, OLEDs PCBs and more. The 3D printing is operating around the clock as each controller requires about 39 hours of printed parts. Aiming to get the next 5 controllers out of the … Read more

We recently released a video talking about some of the mechanical design of our twin-stick controller. Check it out over on YouTube.
