Hi, I've a QuickJoy 2 joystick with a dead directional switch, anyone knows if it possible to replace it with a modern part?

That looks like standard micro switches. 

You should find similar once on Ebay or the Amazon shop for your region, e.g. these here in DE look almost identical:

Mouser and RS in the UK also sell them. Make sure you specify lever-type, not roller-type.
Also, you want them with the Common contact nearest the end where the lever joins the body and the Normally Open contact is in the centre.

Thank you very much for the references! Good to hear it's a very common part. This one looks fairly similar:

I'll report back how it works.

If the physical dimensions match, then that one will be fine. :D
