Besides the fact that the auction is for 2 sticks? :P

It's 2 real Wico joysticks.

The sticks you linked to are the Chinese knock-offs.
They copied part of the 4-way Wico, part of the 8-way, and came up with a poorly fitting stick that won't do EITHER job well.
There are numerous reports on the board here that the Chinese ones are terrible.

Get some Wico 8-way leafswitch sticks.
That's what was used at the factory.

Just installed a pair of those on my panel and can confirm that nothing beats 'em for Robotron.

I totally agree.  Nothing feels the same as the originals.
