Its short throw and low-tension spring allow for faster special moves and combos with less fatigue.

4 or 8-Way with a Twist

It comes factory-set to 8-way mode, but simply rotating the included square restrictor 45° gives you perfect 4-way control for classic games. No special tools required to switch modes.
