The Grabber was a ball shaped accessory for the Atari CX40 joystick, which fitted on top the shaft,[1] with the aim of making it easier to use.

Reviews

"An inexpensive solution to some of the problems of the Atari joystick is called the "Grabber". Nothing more than a plastic top about the size of a golf ball, the Grabber slips over the head of the Atari joystick, making the stick easier to grasp and somewhat less wearing on the user's hand"
