I don't think so.  I believe that one is optical and not mechanical.  So it operates more like a mouse than a switch.  It also looks like it has a stop on it to prevent it from 360 degree rotation.

Take a look again.  It comes in two flavors.  One is optical and one is mechanical.  It may be easier to tell that on the main page here:

Edit:  Oh, and that stop you see is not for stopping the switch from turning 360, but rather to keep the switch body from rotating when you rotate the joy shaft which is attached to the switch shaft.
