Not just a 4-way mode. The conical actuator is for a different stick. They simply sell the 4-way and 8-way stuff in one bag so they don't need to stock 2 different types of handles where only one simple part is diferent.

Like with the cheap chinese knock-off Wico's they claim to be 4-way and 8-way since they include a 4-way / 8-way joystick handle kit. Trouble is, the restrictor plate is diamond shaped for a 4-way stick so it doesn't work as an 8-way stick.

yes

conical actuator is only for microswich 8way version. different shape reduce engagement and diagonals. but this is not  true 4way mode. It this works similarly to HappUltimate 8/4way.
I have WicoP360 and Leaf swicth. I should have also microswich version.

the best thing in wico joysticks: it was it been possible to pin over base assembly and to create hybrids - Wico 8wayspring action base+P360+4way assembly

the largest Wico defect: they crunch. shaft comes in  pivot (or ring) too loosely. these elements are bad fitting.

Ehm, are you sure you bought an actual Wico stick? If you bought a 4-way/8-way with a diamond restricter plate (for around $10 or less) then you bought the chinese knock-off
