Every order is for exactly one coaster, so a full game table means ordering several.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe stick, the buttons and the grid\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrid Floor Joystick puts a single arcade stick in the middle of the picture, seen from above at an angle. The ball top is pink with a white shine mark, the shaft is teal, and pink rings mark the spot where the shaft meets the base. That base is a teal square box with rounded corners and a pink band along its lower front edge. On top of it are two round pink buttons at the left and one yellow oval bar at the right, and a yellow outline traces the whole joystick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShort pink horizontal lines under the base read as its shadow. The floor is a teal grid of thin lines drawn in perspective; it covers the lower half and fades toward a horizon behind the stick. Two centered lines of pixel lettering in yellow, each letter with a pink-coral drop shadow, take up the top third.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack fills the rest, out to every side. There is no cabinet, no screen and no score, only the controller, which is the part your hands remember. If you ever leaned on a machine with a row of quarters lined up, this is your corner of the room in one small square.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesk duty, in plain terms\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe top is water-repellent, so it suits a cold glass or a can.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA hot mug can rest on it, since the top is heat-resistant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt grips the desk: the underside is 0.04″ (1 mm) of non-slip cork.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColors show through a high-gloss coating over 0.12″ (3 mm) of hardboard.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall enough for a crowded desk at 3.74″ (9.5 cm) square and 0.16″ (4 mm) thick.
