Description

The Atari CX40 Joystick became the first cross-platform game controller for the Atari video computer system. It replaced the CX10 and was widely used as the primary input device for games on the Atari computer system. Because of its popularity, the Atari CX40 Joystick has remained an iconography in the video game industry and ingredient in many video game discussions.

There were also adaptors made for Apple II and IBM PC. It featured one button and eight directional-stick. However, the Atari CX40 Joystick was not ergonomically designed for the user’s hands. It caused fatigue problems that came from repeated firing and holding down the buttons for extended periods.
