Arcade1Up 2-Way Joystic Limiter for Galaga

thingiverse

This part will connect to the bottom of the original joystick on the Arcade1Up Galaga game, instantly resolving its sloppiness and four-way limitations caused by the top wood panel. Owning the game, I'm sure you're well aware of what I mean - extremely cheap. If you prefer not to purchase a new joystick, this mod is an excellent alternative. It effectively eliminates up/down movement and slightly reduces the range of left/right movement. To achieve this, simply bend the metal switch tabs slightly so they still click when moving the joystick through its reduced range. I'm thoroughly pleased with this straightforward mod. With just a bit of super glue and this insert, you're good to go - see photos for further details.
