Bob roberts has them

Go to www.therealbobroberts.net (http://www.therealbobroberts.net)
Click on joystick parts and under Happ Super you will super microswitch 4 pack, $5
I ordered a couple of these from him a few years back. They're my favorite switches still.

I understand that many guys shy away from ordering from bob because the way it goes is, you email him what you'd like, he responds with a total price including shipping and on your first order, he ships only after receiving your check.
But its totally worth it and on all orders after, he ships right away.
I always get my orders from him within 2-3 days.

Sweet thanks!
I have read things about him he sounds like a great guy..no rush to get them on my part.

Does anyone have experience with these type of joysticks:

?

They look like Wico style which is what I'm looking for for my next project.

Sorry to hear that. He must have sold out of them.

Are you sure that joystick uses the switches with metal tab actuators?
From that view shown, it looks a bit like a competition knockoff which would likely have switches that don't have the metal tabs.

The one I linked to? I was just curious about it.. I'm looking for the actuators for my Ms Pac Man Reunion joystick..which appears to have a spring problem at the moment though grr.
