Joysticks In The Form of Trackballs: The Wico Command Control and the Roklan Un-Roller Controller

The Wico Command Control and the Roklan Un-Roller Controller are both Atari & Commodore-compatible joystick substitutes in the form of a trackball; one is an actual trackball with extra logic to simulate a joystick, while the other is more of a giant d-pad in the form of a trackball! I put them to the test with a couple rounds of GORF on the Commodore 64, and then we take a look inside to see how they work, and view my typical clumsy efforts at maintenance and repair on them.
