Hello, yes, you will need a proper stick! The stick I bought was custom made by arcade-84 on UK Ebay. He sold a handful of these. I don't believe he makes them anymore. You can certainly buy proper arcade sticks and there are various brands such as Seimitsu and Sanwa. You can research the differences. You may need to purchase a restrictor separately. Have a look on Ebay but note that there are plenty of fakes! Not sure it makes a huge difference.
Note my photo shows it in 4-way mode. I don't use this stick mainly due to lack of buttons and I actually use Logic3 Tri Format arcade stick. Not fashionable but it works well.
A good YT channel is JoystickNY who does a lot of great content on sticks.
You may be interested in the 8BitDo joystick where you can swap out the supplied joystick and pop in a Sanwa. Thus, you can restrict it to 4-way. There appears to be a restrictor already there but I can't access the internals to confirm if 4-way or not. The joystick works well in stock form so it's a case of the 4-way bit.
Not sure I'd go for an original Pac-Man stick even if you could get one. Up to you, chap.
