+=== How do I detect if one of the joystick buttons has been pressed? ===
+This is the same process as detecting game buttons, except with different names for the keys. Again, you listen for "key-press-event" signals and then in your callback you check to see if the pressed button was one of the joystick keys.
+<pre>
+    #### Initialize this activity.
+    def __init__(self, handle):
+        ...
+        self.connect('key-press-event', self._keyPressCb)
+        ...
+    #### Method _keyPressCb, which catches any presses of the game buttons.
+    def _keyPressCb(self, widget, event):
+        keyname = gtk.gdk.keyval_name(event.keyval)
+        if (keyname == 'KP_Up'):
+            self._chat += "\nUp Pressed!"
+            self._chat_buffer.set_text(self._chat)
+        elif (keyname == 'KP_Down'):
+            self._chat += "\nDown Pressed!"
+            self._chat_buffer.set_text(self._chat)
+        elif (keyname == 'KP_Left'):
+            self._chat += "\nLeft Pressed!"
+            self._chat_buffer.set_text(self._chat)
+        elif (keyname == 'KP_Right'):
+            self._chat += "\nRight Pressed!"
              self._chat_buffer.set_text(self._chat)
