Custom Gamepad with Working Keypad for Intellivision II / Sears Telegames
You’re looking at a custom-made gamepad designed specifically for the Intellivision II (2) and Sears Telegames systems.
These are the only two Intellivision models that use a DB9 connector, making this controller the perfect fit.
🎮 Compatibility & Options
✅ Compatible with: Intellivision II (2) and Sears Telegames
❌ Not compatible with: Intellivision Flashback or unmodified original Model 2609
⚙️ I’ll soon offer a mod service to upgrade the Intellivision Model 2609 with DB9 ports — allowing it to use this controller and others.
If interested, please message me for details.
🕹️ Controls & Performance
8-way D-pad (Up, Down, Left, Right + 4 diagonal directions)
Great for most action and arcade games
Not suitable for games requiring full 16-way control or ultra-precise input (e.g., TRON: Deadly Discs)
Includes S1, S2, and S3 buttons (as shown in the demo video)
Fits perfectly in the Intellivision II controller compartment for convenient storage
Note: The photos show my first prototype. Future versions will feature black resin buttons for a more polished look.
🧩 Build Quality
I designed this controller after dealing with unreliable original Intellivision controllers.
Each gamepad is 3D printed in strong PLA (20% infill) for durability, with a resin-printed D-pad and buttons that are cleaned and UV-cured for smooth performance.
Inside is a custom-designed PCB featuring the correct diodes so all keypad buttons work — unlike other options that only register a few.
Every component is brand new:
Custom PCB
Tactile switches
6-foot 9-pin D-sub cable
3D printed case
Resin buttons and D-pad
🛠️ Production Time
Each controller is made to order using my custom PCB (with 18 tactile switches, 28 zener diodes, and other components).
Printing and assembly take time, so please allow about one week for shipping.
I always do my best to get your controller built and shipped as quickly as possible!
Note: Since these are 3D printed (not injection molded), minor surface imperfections may be visible — this is normal for handmade items.
❤️ Why You’ll Love It
If you’re looking for a comfortable, modern, and fully functional way to enjoy your Intellivision games, this controller is for you.
Built by a fellow retro gaming enthusiast, it offers a reliable alternative to the expensive $99+ Long Play controllers — without sacrificing functionality or quality.
