We have ✅ 4 available of the AF-480 in our Sydney warehouse. An extra 69 units available with a short lead time.
A compact 8-way arcade joystick with a satisfying snap action, reminiscent of classic arcade cabinets. Unlike potentiometer-based analogue joysticks, this model uses four internal microswitches for crisp digital on/off directional input — perfect for retro gaming and menu navigation projects.
Key Features
- 8-Way Directional Input – Up, down, left, right, and four diagonals
- Snap-Action Microswitches – Four internal switches for tactile, responsive feedback
- Digital Output – On/off per direction (not proportional/analogue)

- Durable Construction – Rugged build for extended use
Ideal For

- Retro gaming projects with Arduino or Raspberry Pi
