Is it possible the 5 buttons and the joystick (I assume it's just 4 switches?) are arranged in a matrix that's being scanned by the camera's micro? That would explain strange behavior if the lines are being scanned while you're reading them.

1) its a little joystick that controls 5 momentary contact switches inside..no pot inside.
3) I'm sure something is in there, just waiting for a real keypress.
Its all hard for me to explain, as I barely know what I'm doing and don't know the correct terminolagy. I have not done any basic programming for 30 years.
I'll try all of the things mentioned so far, then If I don't get it working, I'll hook it up to the recorder and make a vid of it in action.
Thanks for trying to help.
Thanks and Happy New Years

2) They are 5 lines all at 3.3v all the time, except for the 6th line being ground.
