HORI Hayabusa

HORI's flagship Japanese-style arcade joystick lever, standard in Real Arcade Pro and Fighting Stick Alpha sticks and sold separately as a mod part. A square-gate lever with a low-friction Delrin (POM) pivot housing and reduced input load for fast, precise inputs, using a JLF-compatible mounting pattern that drops into most existing arcade stick installs.
