Actually, FWIW, there were 3 joysticks from RS.  The original black 
free-floating 1-button sticks, the re-badged Kraft self-centering 
2-button sticks, and a second "Deluxe" pistol-grip stick that was 
self-centering, had linear (as opposed to rotary) pots, and had suction 
cups on the base.  Cat. no. 26-3123.
