Pair of brown Commodore joysticks with red ‘fire’ button compatible with Commodore 64 systems. The user may push in one of eight directions, and a fire button. The control stick is mechanically connected to four switches; up, down, left and right. Pushing the stick in a direction in between two of these ‘cardinal directions’ activates two of the four switches.
