The Paddles are just two Potentiometers with a push swtich in a plastic shell. The analogue controls use unused pins from the Atari joystick while the buttons use the left and right ones. The Pots share the same VCC while outputting the current through their own respective pins. They can be hooked up to an Atari 2600 with a joystick connected to the same DE-9 port and not interfere with the joystick, aside from the buttons using Left and Right.
