This is a controller coupler for the original TI-99 Joystick Pair. Use this to play Robotron, MicroSurgeon, and others. Homebrew developers can now have a solution to provide a means to have dual joysticks for any number of game ideas.

Coined "Pain Sticks" I realized that this is often played best with thumbs and so I've added two caps which hold on with friction nicely. The back of the coupler has two slots for storing the caps as well.

For game designers you can also reverse orientation to have it be upside down making the fire buttons easier to reach during gameplay for selecting weapon changes, detonate bombs, you name it!

There are padded pieces on the bottom as well to prevent slipping on a flat surface or just hold it in your hands.

NOTE: This is only for the coupler. The joysticks are not included.
