Hello Steve!

I'm a joystick fanatic and have done a bit of research on available types. My favorite are these:

A closeup of the large style:

The ones you listed below are all the "mini" size, is this the size you want?
The minis are nice & compact (16mm x 16mm x 13mm, or roughly 1/2" cube, really freakin' tiny), but have a very low power rating - 0.0125W or 1/80th of a Watt.

I have the large size shown in the links in stock, 100k & 5k.
