Why is it that you are asking?  It should be as simple as ordering what you need 8 way, 4 way, * way...

But in case you're wondering the difference between an 8 and 4 way is that an 8 way allows two microswitches to be operated at the same time and therefore register that as a diagonal.  4 ways usually have some sort of restrictor that only allows the joystick's shaft to contact 1 microswitch at a time.

If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen
