I purchased these from
www.hollandcomputers.com for a cocktail build.
I purchased a blue for P1 and a red for P2.
http://www.hollandcomputers.com/store/pc/Illuminated-LED-Arcade-Joystick-Switchable-from-8-way-to-4-way-Red-2395p6783.htmThe mounting the plates for these are slightly different than a standard joystick, so prepare to rearrange you mounting holes slightly, or route out a little more real estate from the underside of your control panel.
Once my control panel was modified, I mounted and connected the joysticks.
Connecting the joysticks was a little confusing at first because there are 2 plugs that the controls can plug into. There is no documentation showing why there are 2. A quick email to holland computers, and I was shown a diagram of the joystick that at least showed me the pinout of the 2 connectors. I picked one, and hoped it worked. I lucked out and got it right on the first try.
The 3rd connector is for the LED. That was very straight forward.
I got everything wired up, and fired up a game.
These joysticks are terrible. TERRIBLE.
They are VERY loud, and there is a TON of play from 1 contact to the other. I had to switch the restrictor plate from 8-way to 4-way in hopes of cleaning up some of the slop in the stick. No go. Even in 4-way, ms pac-man is nearly unplayable. Even my fiancee who is not a skilled player commented on how it was difficult to control, and she didn't even know I was upset about them too.
I'll be swapping these for something better ASAP.
Save your money and buy something different.
