It's like a 'hat trick' in hockey however with switches.
But really;
Hat switches. Also called POV hat switches, these controls change your
view in the game (above, behind, in-cockpit). Many games allow you
to customize your controls by assigning frequently used commands to the
hat
switch. The hat switch is an im****tant consideration,
especially
if you devote time to flight sim games.
There are two varieties of hat switches: four-way and eight-way.
Four-way hat switches give you forward, back, left, and right
movement.
Eight-way hat switches give you those four movements and add forward-left,
forward-right, back-left, and back-right movement.
