I grabbed a box of rando joysticks this week. Most of it was just random junk and bits and pieces. These four were also in there and I have no idea what they are. Any help with the ID would be greatly appreciated. ore for curiosity than anything.

We'll call this Joystick 1 ID'd Exidy Venture (Thanks Andrew)

And last, but not least my personal fave, Joystick Number 4 which looks like some kind of do it yourself project.

#1 is a Venture stick (minus the ball).

#2 and #3 I do not know.

#4 is weird, as I had one exactly like it. I assumed it was a homebrew, and I think I tossed it. So that's really odd that you also have one, as it really is very primitive and homemade. So now I'm curious. They must have gone to something.
 
Many thanks! Yeah, number 4 looks like some kid's school project. Whi knows, maybe someone here will know.
