Product Description
The Sanwa JLF-TM-8T is a high quality joystick, manufactured in Japan by Sanwa Denshi Co. Each joystick comes complete with a flat mounting plate, 2 x dust covers, 4 x D44X microswitches with 4.8mm terminals & a 35mm ball top handle.
PLEASE NOTE: This joystick is now fitted with soft clicking D44X Cherry microswitches.
By default, this joystick has a square restrictor gate and is set to 8 way. This can easily be changed to 4 way mode by simply removing the plastic restrictor, lifting the centre piece and rotating it to the 4 way position. We also sell the Sanwa GT Y Octagonal Gate if you prefer more precise 8 way control for games like Street Fighter, which will allow you to pull off combo moves with ease.
Please Note:
The Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT Ball Top Joystick is the most suitable joystick when modding a fight stick.
