Arcade Joystick

This heavy-duty arcade joystick uses momentary limit switches for directional input — one switch for each of the four directions. A built-in select button is actuated when the red top button is pressed down, giving you five inputs in total from a single joystick.

Designed for panel mounting, this joystick has a beefy build with a tall profile. Reading the joystick movement is straightforward — just configure your microcontroller to read five switches.
