A ball top arcade style 4/8 way joystick. This joystick uses 4 standard micro-switches to give a precise, hard wearing and positive tactile feel and allows for up to 8 directions to be sensed. The restrictor plate fitted to the bottom of the joystick helps protect the micro-switches from excessive force whilst providing full freedom of movement in both joystick X and Y directions. Should any of the micro-switches eventually need replacing they can be easily swapped out without the need of a screwdriver. A nylon (red) ball attached to the top of the joystick give the joystick a comfortable ergonomic feel and a solid 9mm polished metal shaft finishes of the classic arcade joystick look and feel.
For attaching the joystick to cabinet or control panel, the joystick has a square mounting plate measuring 95x60mm with 6 mounting holes for up to M4 screws/bolts. A lose dust ring at the base of the joystick helps cover the mounting hole and protect the mechanism below from lose dust or dirt.
