Product Description
This D44Y microswitch for arcade joysticks is manufactured by Cherry, who are renowned for high quality and reliability.
Each Cherry microswitch features a soft click and low actuation force, which is highly noticeable when compared to arcade joysticks fitted with alternative microswitches.
This D44Y Cherry microswitch has 4.8mm terminals and is an ideal replacement for worn out joystick microswitches or if you are looking to upgrade the microswitches on existing arcade joysticks. If you are looking for high quality Cherry microswitches with a soft click for your arcade project, then look no further.
Compatibility:
Please note: This microswitch is ONLY suitable for use on joysticks that have existing microswitches with lever arms, so it is recommended that you check your joystick has compatible microswitches before ordering. If your joystick has microswitches without the long lever arms, this microswitch would NOT be suitable and you would require the button microswitch instead.

Great for Neo Geo X upgrades!
Great haptic feeling in these switches and leagues above the garbage that sits in the Neo Geo X USB-sticks. Just keep in mind that you need to shorten the levers with something!

D44Y CHERRY MICROSWITCH
ive used the gersung A2 + A3,Omron A5, and now the cherry d44y. the cherry in comparison to those other switches, is in a league of its own. The cherry switches are far superior Side note, my order arrived on a weekend on the earliest scheduel date :) Very happy

Peace at last
I bought these to replace the cheap, loud switches that were fitted to the Zippyy sticks. The difference is amazing - there's less movement needed in order to register a direction, and less pressure needed also. But best of all, these are so quiet in comparison. Quite simply the best upgrade you can make to a cheap stick.

Works great BUT beware: doesn't fit Sanwa joysticks!
I bought these for my Sanwa joysticks and as a test, I left one Sanwa with the original microswitches and wanted to give one these Cherry ones. Immediately I ran into a problem: these microswitches do NOT fit a Sanwa joystick. I had to use my Dremel to make 4 incisions in the side of the joystick, probably ruining my warranty in the process, just so the ground pin would have enough room. While this is not that hard to do, the store should have mentioned this since some people may not like the idea of cutting away plastic or making incisions. The buttons themselves are great - soft click and you can feel they respond slightly faster meaning games feel easier to control.

Didn't expect much but I was surprised.
I ordered these just to fill my shopping cart to make shipping costs worthwhile. I didn't expect much from them but boy, was I surprised. Very good build quality. I was skeptical about the switches and how they actuated in my hand but when I installed them to my stick, they were amazing. Actuation point is near instant and after actuation, the switch depresses further with added tension, allowing for quicker return to neutral. They are very smooth and they're my daily drivers. I'm even liking them over the A3s, A2s and omron 1a5s I currently own. Really good switch. Would definitely recommend. Unfortunately it doesn't fit the crown 309 models due to the brackets for switch alignment on the base of the crown. The cherry's COM prong got in the way. However, it fits the Fanta base just fine. 5 stars, high quality microswitches

Competition Pro
Just upgraded by old Sanwa microswitches on my old Sanwa joystick, immediately I could sense the faster response times. When working in 10ths of a second, this is a game changer. Only niggle I had is that it didn't fit in the Sanwa Microswitch housing, not a biggie, just snipped a bit of the plastic housing away, no harm done.
