## Description

This snappy 8-way joystick beckons you to play with it! It is rugged, and not too large, reminiscent of a Pac Man arcade cabinet. Unlike the potentiometer-based 2-axis and mini thumbsticks, this joystick uses 4 snap microswitches so it's good if you want a directional control but not the best choice if you want proportional output (that is, its either on/off not sensitive to small movement changes).

## Technical Details

The ball-top is threaded with Sanwa-compatible threads so you can replace the top with any 'Sanwa-style' tops for customizability!
