This PCB was inspired by the Open Source Colecovision controller project started by Sparkletron. 

I have contributed to the project and have now made my changes available for download and use.

Please note: These resources are intended for users with experience in 3D printing and using a soldering iron to attach 7 wires. RetroGameBoyz does not offer support for these processes. However, I am happy to provide you with a completed, PCB with surface mounted diodes and preassembled micro-switches. If you want a completed, plug and play controller, see my other products.

• Fully tested and operational when assembled
  Just solder a 9 pin DB9 joystick cable (sold separately)

• Returns not accepted on PCBs - you want return guarantees? See my completed controllers.

Cable length should be cut to 4 to 5 feet or less before assembly. Note that, longer cables can causes some games to respond in an unexpected manner. (For example, Defender will activate smart bomb when button 1 (laser) is fired and the ship is moving right or left. This is a Colecovision console behavior)

• Required: DB9 9 wire joystick cable (sold separately)
• Cut about 2 1/2 inches of sheathing from the DB9 cable to expose 9 wires
• Test continuity of each wire to match with each pin number
  (You will not use wire for pin 7 or pin 9)
• Solder each wire to appropriate pin through hole on PCB as indicated
• Attached PCB to 3D printed base bottom enclosure (snaps over standoffs)
• Insert keypad number buttons, fire buttons and Dpad in top enclosure
• With Top enclosure facing down, gently curve wire into wire restraint where indicated
• Place bottom cover over top
• Secure with screws
  • 5/8th inch long at most
  • #4 screw 0.112 inch diameter
  • Course thread (sheet metal type)
  • Pan Head no larger then 3/16th of an inch
