Is this an Apple joystick?

[Teslaza]

Hi. I still have this joystick which came with a computer (afaik it was an Apple pc) we had for a very short while when I was very little. I see the logo has some sort of apple design on it, but I can't find any reference online to indicate whether this is an actual Apple product or not.

Any vintage Apple sages out there that could shine some light here.

Thank you

I'm not sure what it is but it doesn't look like an Apple product. Besides being an apple, the logo doesn't look at all like any of the Apple logos either.

Not an Apple product, but a third party 'compatible" product.

The type of plug on the end should reveal what computer is was for.

Odd that it has the old Pioneer logo on it (though it's not a Pioneer product either).

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, very odd. Has me confused

It's a 16 pin like plug like this :

IIRC, there's a 16 pin port inside the computer for paddles/joystick.

The apple iie/iic has a 9 pin port in addition (should you care about niceties like RF interference).

Here are some Apple branded Joysticks:

I must say, those apple branded paddles looked fancy compared to what I used to play breakout.

I don't recall there being a logo on mine Possibly they were third party generics.
