Alternatives to the Trogotronic Iron Cross?

Been thinking recently about how this would be an incredible addition to my tabletop (harsh) noise setups... route one input into four different pedal chains and switch between them with a flick of the joystick, go all Sickness-style cut-up noise, etc etc etc. HOWEVER, at nearly $300 including shipping to Malaysia, it's, how shall we say, expensive, and I was wondering whether there's anything out there that does something like the Iron Cross, except, y'know, cheaper? The 1-input-to-4-outputs functionality is essential for what I want to do with it, so those passive arcade button mute boxes (like this) that I occasionally see people building aren't what I'm looking for.

Thoughts? Or should I just try and sell some stuff and get the Trogo?

Note that it doesn't have to be a joystick. I don't mind arcade buttons.

The old one. Nice. I don't think it'd be too complex to build yourself. Parts would be 70 at the most I'm guessing. Joystick and all. If you are not sure how to DIY it I have not helped you at all and have wasted your time. Sorry.
