Review: Macht was er soll.
Review: Sappiate che la leva è lunga e quindi anche il movimento, la corsa, per chiudere il contatto è più lungo di quelli a leva corta Per il resto funziona bene, in modalità 8 direzioni non ha nessun problema In modalità 4, tramite un riduttore conico con un diametro più piccolo, non si arriva a toccare i due micro assieme, per cui non è possibile fare le diagonali ma insistendo qualcosa esce ugualmente. Mentre joystick con un riduttore fisico a croce è più professionale. Per il resto va benissimo Buon feeling Micro non troppo duri Montaggio semplicissimo in quanto è praticamente già montato

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this come with the appropriate wires?**
A: It comes with no wires. Just the joystick.

**Q: will this work with the 1up arcade?**
A: Yes but you have to solder the wires that are attached to the current joystick. I would also add that this is much longer than the stock joystick.

**Q: Do you have a schematic for this product?**
A: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/612PwzHRsXL._SL1000_.jpg

See the other images of the joystick on the page.

**Q: Can you add 4 more limit switches to it? So i can have 8 wires.**
A: No. There isn't really space for that on the bottom. You should look for a stick that already has 8.
