A commodore 64 joystick. Next was the NES controller.

The reverse order for me. A borrowed NES first at 5-6, then a secondhand C64 at 8. Learned to type and program BASIC on that thing.

Learned basic on that thing as well. I remember having a magazine subscription that included a program in the center fold. Then saving it to a cassette tape to enjoy later. Lol
