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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alles gut *by M***1 on 4 April 2021* Macht was er soll. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product *by G***A on 25 September 2023* Game ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Joystick *by S***N on 1 April 2024* Parfait ## Frequently Bought Together - EG STARTS American Style Arcade Competition 2Pin Joystick BLACK Switchable From 8 Ways Operation, Elliptical Black Handle, Precision 8-Way 187" (4.8mm) terminal - EG STARTS 6X American Style Standard Arcade Buttons Switchable Happ Type 30mm Push Button 3/16" Terminal for Jamma Mame Kit Parts (Red) - EG STARTS Happ Style 1 Player / 2 Player Start & Home Push Buttons With Micro Switch Compatible For Arcade Machine Games Mame Jamma Parts --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/275925716-eg-starts-american-style-arcade-competition-2pin-joystick-black-8](https://www.desertcart.us/products/275925716-eg-starts-american-style-arcade-competition-2pin-joystick-black-8) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-18*
