Is this the kind of joystick you use for like Ikari warriors etc?  What's the deal with this optical joystick?

It's a 49-way, and if the price goes any higher (maybe even if it doesn't) you'd probably be better off buying one new. 

But you'll need an interface like the  GP-Wiz49 or SJC to use it on the PC.
