Design

THEJOYSTICK was designed to be used with the video game consoles created by Retro Games.

It was included with THEC64 Mini, THEC64, and the THEVIC20, plus it was also available separately.

The base is black and the joystick is black with a red plastic washer at the base.

It has two large red face buttons, two small red trigger buttons, and four additional buttons.

There is also a clear variation.

The version of THEJOYSTICK included with THEC64 changed the internals to use microswitches.

Both versions are identical externally.
