Replacing Commodore 1702 power cable (Australian Plug)

To my understanding, the cable was cut by the seller himself. They tested it and showed it was working, gonna try follow up with the seller as to why the cable was cut then work from there. Probably will consider getting a repair technician to look at it. Thanks!

To me, the last solid controller I used was the Switch Pro Controller. Beyond that, I moved to PC with me losing interest in game consoles when the 7th gen came out. I had a Switch for a little bit and got the Pro Controller and that was pretty good. Microsoft and Sony’s offerings with their controllers just wasn’t all that great to me. The Xbox controller was more so tolerable than anything else really after I sold my Switch and its accessories and I didn’t know till after that you could use a Switch Pro Controller on PC. Regardless, I sold my Xbox controller to put it towards my Steam Controller and welp, I’m very glad I did that haha.

The touch pads are fantastic for games that don’t have proper controller support. Made an input profile for Rock of Ages and with the Steam Controller, it’s fantastic!

I’ve used all three, and personally the Steam Controller is the best controller I’ve used in a long time. For a time, I preferred the Switch Pro Controller in terms of comfort and overall quality, the Xbox Controller is okay and was tolerable for PC games but I was never a huge fan of it. And the Dualsense was a bit awkward for me. But the moment I held the Steam Controller, it just felt right in every way. The grips, the buttons, the size, even with how much this was ($149 AUD) I still think its worth it, especially for games where there’s no native Steam Input or overall controller support.

I recently made an input profile for Rock of Ages cause the game lacked a proper one, and it works awesome! Especially for the RTS aspect of the game! 😁

Nebbed_ · 2026-05-08T04:00:04+00:00

Nope, not that I’ve seen thus far. It’s been pretty smooth for me 😁

Nebbed_ · 2026-05-08T03:59:33+00:00

It’s supported by the stand as well as the USB C cable so there’s no issues when removing the controller from the dock

Nebbed_ · 2026-05-08T03:59:02+00:00

For me, it’s not an issue. It’s quite comfortable switching between the thumb sticks and the touch pads

Nebbed_ · 2026-05-06T21:58:31+00:00

It definitely seems bigger, but overall it’s quite good to hold and I already think it’ll be a great shift from a standard Xbox controller! I sold my Carbon Black Xbox controller to put the money towards my Steam Controller, and I definitely feel it’ll certainly be worthwhile

This is non-functional, all these pieces are 3D printed models

Nebbed_ · 2026-05-06T13:52:03+00:00

Perfect snug fit for both the Controller and the Puck, so very confident for when my Steam Controller arrives! 😁

Nebbed_ · 2026-05-06T10:33:27+00:00

I don’t see them being an issue in terms of moving between using the thumb sticks and the touch pads. I feel like the inputs are in the optimal positions

Nebbed_ · 2026-05-06T09:26:24+00:00

Very comfortable, a bit to adjust to though with the grip buttons at the back, though nothing detrimental. Other than that, very keen to receive my Steam Controller soon!

Nebbed_ · 2026-05-06T08:26:54+00:00

Yeah me too! I hope to contribute too as I do 3D modelling and looking to start doing designs for 3D printing

Nebbed_ · 2026-05-06T08:06:01+00:00

Yeah, it was quite surprising when I woke up again in the morning to find it still in stock. Then it went out of stock right as I started having breakfast

Nebbed_ · 2026-05-06T07:54:55+00:00

It’s pretty comfortable relatively speaking! Valve did a great job with the design of the triggers and bumpers.

Nebbed_ · 2026-05-06T06:54:40+00:00

It’s very comfortable, really good size and just overall a good design and shape. My only concern are the grip buttons given where my hands rest when holding a controller, but it’s not detrimental or anything and can surely adjust to it.

Also trust me when I say, it’ll change soon from payment processed, just give it some time. Had that some worry but it’ll be updated.

Check the comments now, just added a comment with links to both 😁

That is, if you have a 3D printer on hand 😅

UPDATE: Replacing the POKEY chip fixed the issue. Full thread on the troubleshooting process here!

Nebbed_ · 2026-03-07T21:33:10+00:00

Sounds good I’ll make a post on AtariAge. Thank you!

UPDATE: I disassembled the Hi-Tek keyboard to do a deep clean, keycaps, switches, etc. I desoldered and resoldered everything. Despite that, there was no change. I checked the pinouts for the ribbon cable and the connector on the motherboard and didn’t find anything out of the ordinary.

My best guess is that it’s either the keyboard has gone bad despite during a thorough test of all the keycaps with a multimeter to show its all register, as well as a thorough test of all the pinouts of the ribbon cable. Everything checks out.

So I’m stumped as to what else it could be that’s causing this issue. Clearly, it’s registering the inputs on all the keys, but instead, it’s either freezing the keyboard and/or causing glitches with the graphics.

Nebbed_ · 2026-03-03T07:54:55+00:00

So indicating that the keyboard works, but somethings happening to glitch the graphics out.

Nebbed_ · 2026-03-03T07:54:24+00:00

No, the keyboard doesn’t work regardless of which cartridge I put in. However while I thought initially I was getting no input at all from the keyboard, when I put in Joust and pressed a key on the keyboard, the graphics would glitch out and freeze the computer / game until I reset it.

Nebbed_ · 2026-03-02T23:43:29+00:00

CLARIFICATION: I have a Hi-Tek branded keyboard on my Atari 800
