It is a one button joystick, which is really indestructible. Totally micro-switched. A friend tells me it resembles the Competition Pro (Only one instead of two buttons). It is also exactly the same as the ones you will find on real arcade games. I'm using this joystick for almost five years, including the years on the '64 (remember DECATHLON???.... It still works after lotsa games of it).
