IL Euro Arcade Joystick With Cherry Microswitches

Product Description

The Euro joystick is a high quality joystick, manufactured in the EU by IL. This 8-way joystick is similar to the ones used in original Mortal Kombat arcade cabinets. This joystick has a light spring pressure, medium travel and is fitted with soft clicking Cherry microswitches and a white actuator. This joystick has a tear drop style handle with matching coloured dust cover. This joystick is very soft clicking, due to the light actuation force of the quality Cherry microswitches and in our opinion, is one of the best joysticks to use for an arcade project.

Product features:
* The IL Eurostick has dedicated 8-way movement
* Similar to Mortal Kombat cabinet joysticks
* Soft clicking Cherry microswitches - low actuation force
* Microswitches with 4.8mm terminals

Wiring Info
This joystick is fitted with 4 x 4.8mm Cherry Microswitches. Each microswitch will require 1 x crimped wire for ground connection and 1 x crimped wire for signal connection.

Pre-crimped wires and daisy chain ground harness can be purchased separately here:

Very nice, not all consistent

I bough two of these sticks and while they are both very good one of them feels just slightly better than the other. Typically I installed that on the player 2 position before checking. Its possible its my bad playing but I have better control of moves in fighting games using the second stick than the first. The first stick just seems to catch accidental diagonals more than the other.
That said I would definitely buy these sticks again. They can take a real beating which will be perfect when I finally get around to installing them into a custom cabinet.
Love them!

These are the type of Joysticks i grew up with, not the Sanwa round ones. I find the handle more ergonomic. They switches feel very soft and they work very well. It is an 8 way joystick so it is great for games like Street fighter and the like.
2 things to consider though:
- The nuts and bolts are not included so you'll to purchase them separately. You can find them under the "Illuminated Joysticks" section or get them in your local hardware store
- There are no setup instructions so in order to install the joystick onto the cabinet you'll need to remove the E clip underneath and handle, set up on to the control panel and then mount the stick again.
good sticks

High quality stick with a good spring action. Was a fan of the sanwa sticks but now i'm converted since using them in a cabinet project.
