Other than the "two switches in the side of the molded case" this sounds like an Epyx 500XJ joystick.   They also made one in a light grey color.    You can view a picture here!

The Mindscape also doesn't have two switches.  Here's a page with a picture and you can buy one new for $14.00.  Here's the link...

I think the Konix Speedking had two buttons and looked exactly like those already posted.



Brian...you made me look!  Never heard of the Konix.   You're right, it did look exactly like the Epyx but, still only one button.  And the connector wasn't a standard Atari style.  Here's a picture of the Konix Speedking

A bit of further research (ain't google great) found a Konix Speedking analog with two buttons.  The picture is here...

The website has a great collection of information on joysticks!
