Using this arcade joystick is super easy. Just connect it to your DIY arcade game machine. Then you can start using the 8 - way functionality to play games. The high - sensitivity feature means small movements of the joystick will be accurately detected. When it comes to maintenance, keep it in a dry place. If it gets dirty, you can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the ABS plastic and alloy construction. Also, be careful not to apply too much force on the joystick handle to prevent breakage.
