This one, it's a replacement for the Ms. Pac-Man/Galaga reunion games and therefore a true 4-way.  $21.00 though  :-[

It's not wood mountable because of the short shaft and throw of the stick.  You really need a very thin mounting material for it to work properly.  I recently purchased one and it is a very small joystick.  

Has anyone mounted one of these in a lexan surface?  Thought it would be easier to drill a lexan plate than a metal one.

Red ball?  I'm not sure if it twists off or not.    Will have to go look.

The ball is not removable.  It can be painted with the proper paint and preparation.
