Is it Industrias Lorenzo's magnetic joystick (ref A03551)?

See here: www.industrias-lorenzo.com

I personally prefer the spring version and it's cheaper.

He got them from a guy here in Sweden selling pinball-parts.
I got them from him when he was cleaning out the basement..  :)
There was a pile of metallic buttons with it aswell - but the mounting is so shallow that I would need a steel CP.. which I

I was wondering about these as well.  Tell me, are they permanent magnet based or are there wires for electromagnets?

Ever since I saw those listed, I've been trying to imagine what they must feel like in use.  Must be an awefully uneven pull I would think.  Either that or smooth as silk :)

Could you describe it?

Well..
There is a permanent magnet in the houseing that snaps a very short bit.
The feel is something like a "hard" microswitch.. sort of..
Not uneven - just different!
Actually not bad at all.  :)
