Multi-Directional Switches

A multi-directional switch is a type of switch that can be actuated in multiple directions. This type of switch is often used in applications where the switch needs to be actuated in more than one direction, such as in video game controllers or remote controls. Multi-directional switches typically have four or eight actuation points, corresponding to the four cardinal directions (up, down, left, and right) or the eight principal directions (up, down, left, right, and the four diagonal directions). They are commonly used as control inputs in a variety of applications, such as to navigate through menus or select options.
