[Coco] 2 Button Joystick?

[Bill Pierce]

The later deluxe joysticks (Coco & Tandy 1000 labeled) have 2 buttons as well as the deluxe mouse (white, I have one).
OS9 L2 will use the 2nd button to change windows (like <CLEAR>). I hate this feature as I want to use the 2nd button for software features in my NitrOS9 projects.
There has been discussions of making that feature in NitrOS9 as "settable", but no one's done it yet.

I should add that most software doesn't address the second button. I think there
was an article in one of the old coco mags to merge the 2
buttons.

</div>I keep reading about CoCos supporting 2 button joysticks, but
I have yet to even find an example of one.   I've seen the typical RS black one
button type, which is what I have.   I've also seen a "deluxe" which is beige
and has a button on the top.  Can someone point me in the right direction
here?

Or does the deluxe seen here [

buttons and I just can't see one?
