Sean Fahey was curious to know about these, and other people may be too.
Since I couldn't find any pictures online, and I don't have my own handy, I
made a crude ASCII art from memory:

The general dimension is rectangular, in a portrait style. The button is at
near the top, at the center, and the plastic slopes down on 4 sides around
it. Movement is made by a single-axis joystick that moves only from left to
right. In this diagram, it has been moved all the way to the left. The cable
comes out at the top end of the paddle. It says CH Products either at the
top corner or the bottom corner. I couldn't remember, so I just put it at
the top.
