Dpad controller?

Does anyone know any type of Dpad (directional pad) joystick? Just the Dpad part of it. Like a 4 or 8 way button. I Can't seem to find one.
I'd like to add one to my cabinet, but not having any luck

Find an old Gravis pad on ebay maybe?
The top one that looks like a SNES controller:

The original one was for a game port. You might want to look into the Gravis Gamepad Pro USB version. It looks a bit different, but it's USB out of the box.

I'm assuming you mean a D-Pad that fits in a control panel like a push-button. There was one a longtime ago on here but I can't find it at the moment....

How would you use one of those? A D-Pad is designed to work with a thumb, but there's no way to get your hand around a CP.

Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

I've seen threads where people have been shown where to find them, but I've never seen one installed. I don't see the point of having one, either. You can't play a game using one, and if it's for menus, just use the joystick.
