  • The Quickshot Joypad for NES is a joke. Unresponsive and awkward, is there anything good to say?

    5 good things about the Quickshot Joypad:
    1. They got the colour right and they spelled the name of the buttons right
    2. It's a wired controller so you don't have to charge it
    3. You may get addicted to the squishy noises
    4. You can play spinning top (sold separately) on the shield
    5. It doesn't hurt as much as the "Stick Station" atari controller when you shove it into your ass

    I had a friend with this POS, and after only one time using it, I always made sure to bring my own NES controller to his house. His aunt who knew nothing about games gave it to him for his b-day, so I can't fault him on that one. Also to mention my controller of choice was the Touch Turbo 360 NES pad as It did not give me NES thumb blisters, and I eventually got very good at using it.

    Yeah, you don’t wanna use this controller for platform games.
    But i do say that this controller might be ideal for point & click games such as color dinosaur,win lose or draw,shadowgate and videomation,, because you don’t have to rock with the controller contstandly and you can simulate a mouse experience on a pc.
    Now there is likely a nes2usb adaptor along with key2joypad software wich allows you to simulates the mouse,so this controller can be definitely ideal for use as a pc mouse that way.

    @warlockd Před 3 lety +1

    Just found this in my old game bin. I forgot how bad it was. I thought taking it apart and cleaning it but still awful. Now I did find there is space to put some springs on the A/B button that makes the buttons not as squishy. Very simple electronics, just uses a 555 timer to press the buttons fast. Honestly it feels like you must use two hands to use it. In fact it feels like the big thumb controller should be a joystick.
    NOTE: It said "Patent pending" But the only patent I could find is USD271220S and it looks nothing like this thing. Funny going down this rabbit hole. The people who invented this as well as Spectravideo, SPECTRAVISION did a bunch of patents about inserting advertisements into software to airplane backseat TV/displays.
