The LS-32 is a great stick for just about any application.  The restriction plates on the bottom can be set to allow for 2, 4 or 8 way operation.  Making this a great 4 way stick for games like Pacman and Donkey Kong or adjust it to 8 way enjoy the easy through and quick response in a game of Street Fighter III. 

Ideal for metal panels and cocktails the ball sits 1 1/8" above the mounting plate and the total height with ball off the mounting plate is only 2 1/2".  .187 tabs.

Ball tops are now sold separately to offer more selection, but you can pick any ball top found here:

This is a great choice for midway cocktail tables, complete with red ball to look authentic, or add a little pink to your Ms Pac in solid or bubble top!
