Happ Compact Top Fire Button Arcade Joystick

This is a really interesting joystick. Solid and very sturdy, this Happ-style top-trigger joystick is focused on very specific arcade games. Top trigger joysticks used to be installed in airplane games such as the Afterburner II or games with very particular mechanics like the classic Robotron by Williams or Bezerk by Stern Electronics.

This joystick has a short to medium travel and it's got a medium hard tension. It is very comfortable to hold and you can use the action push button on top while having the other hand completely free.

The Happ style top-trigger joystick has 4.8mm wide terminals microswitches and has the option of operating in both 4- and 8-way mode thanks to a restrictor which can be configured easily to the user's preference.

With a total length of 189mm and a shaft height of 79mm, this joystick can be installed in both metal and wooden panels without any problem as it is long enough.

As for the installation, it couldn't be easier! Simply connect your wired Jamma or Zero Delay / Xin Mo encoder to the 4 terminals on the joystick and the fifth microswitch at the base of the joystick, which corresponds to the action push button.
