MediaWiki:Sitenotice:
2025-12-29: I have restored the wiki to a backup from the end of November. Starting in September 2025, accesses went form the 800MB-1.2GB range per month to 26GB in September, 42GB in October, and 70GB in November with most accesses originating from China. As soon as I realized what was causing all the access problems in November, I shut it down (it had reached 36GB by then) behind a password/login screen. The database had gotten corrupted, and I tried a restore from just before the spike in access but that didn't work. Thus, end of November. I still have the other daily backups so if there were any important additions in December, let me know and maybe they can be recovered. - Allen H.

Table instead of bullet points?
I tend to prefer tables over lists, especially when there is redundant information that requires repeated verbiage. So I'm going to experiment here with one.
- 26-3012 single red fire button, TRS-80 Deluxe Joystick label, and two same-length arms internally not supported on the opposite side from the potentiometer
- 26-3012A two 'fire' buttons (a red one and a black one), TRS-80 Deluxe Joystick label, and two same-length arms internally not supported on the opposite side from the potentiometer
- 26-3012B two 'fire' buttons (a red one and a black one), Tandy Deluxe Joystick label, and two different length (long and short) arms internally where the long arm is supported by a peg on the opposite side of the potentiometer
| Catalog Number | Branding | Fire Buttons | Debut | Debut Price | Last Seen | Final Price | Mechanism |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 26-3012 | TRS-80 | One red | 1984 RSC-10 p.48 | $39.95 | Example | Example | Example |
| 26-3012A | Tandy | Two (red, black) | Example | Example | Example | Example | Example |
| 26-3012B | Tandy | Two (red, black) | Example | Example | Example | Example | Example |
Like other peripherals, the Deluxe Joystick was compatible with the Tandy 1000 line of PCs, and was advertised as such right from the Tandy 1000's debut in 1985's RSC-14.
Price cuts in Radio Shack catalogs were nearly always a sign that a product was going to be canceled or replaced by a newer model.
In 1986, the 26-3012's price was slashed from $39.95 to $29.95 in both RSC-15's Color Computer section and the main catalog's CoCo section . The same held true in RSC-15's Tandy 1000 section and the main catalog's Tandy 1000 section.
