* There were 3rd party [[Joystick Y-cables]] available, which allowed the use of any joystick on the market, rather than Amstrad's lousy ones
* Many games didn't even support two joysticks (Though for many of them you could just redefine keys to match the keypresses produced by the second joystick)
Besides the port for the second joystick, the JY-1 and JY-2 joysticks were identical.
== Peculiarities ==
* Connector for second joystick (JY-2 only)
* JY-1 had a single fire button at the top.
* JY-1 didn't use microswitches
* JY-2 had two fire buttons, one at top and one for the trigger
