The Zippyy classic style joystick is a great choice for a versatile, inexpensive joystick.  Easily adjustable between 2, 4, and 8 way. You can play the classics or the fighting games by simply shifting a plate on the bottom of the joystick.

The design of these joysticks is identical to the Seimitsu in sizing, there are a few parts made of different materials, ironically, the Zippyy has metal in many places the Seimitsu has plastic. The longer joystick handle is fine on metal panels, but also allows for wooden under mounting.

This is just a great all around work horse joystick, that can be adapted to perfectly suit games you want to play. 

To allow for more ball top selection, ball tops now come separately.

Shaft length is 3 11/16" long.
