Overall a great stick
I am very particular about sticks, I swapped my sanwa with an oversized actuator for this exact stick. The LS-40-01 has improved my play, it activates quicker than my previous combo, it moves quite freely. My main gripe is that the travel is still further than I'd like it but overall this is a fantastic stick. Took a while to get used to the metallic sound but it's well worth it. There is a weird join seem on the ball which is annoying but again you can get used to it.

Great stick for shmup lovers
Had a cheap HORI fightstick mini and was having trouble with relativelly precise movements in shmups. Bought myself a used Mad Catz SF4 FightStick with the plan to mod it for shmup use. Researched the recommended sticks for shmups (LS-32 and 40) and ended getting this one since people were praising it for its precision. Love it.

Great stick for (old) fighters
Very good stick, prefer this to the sanwa JLF- TP-8YT as it has a shorter throw so I can make smaller movements ( makes big difference for the older games like kof 98, SSFT2 etc, new games are more forgiving with the inputs). Quick spring back to neutral also. Of interest if using a 5 pin connector it has to be used the other way round to the sanwa to register all directions.

Really good for Shmups
I have this and the LS-58. This is stiffer but doesn't suffer from pivot grinding like the LS-58 does. It's a little bit stiffer in comparison, but its short throw really helps. I would say it's more adequate for shmups than fighting games.

Shmups Delight!
Mounted this in a Mayflash MF002 by removing the acrylic plexiglass top and screwing into the metal plate to give the correct height. Definitely worth the little extra effort as I beat my all-time high score on Donpachi on the second attempt! Cannot go wrong with a Seimitsu LS-40-01 and some Seimitsu PS-14-G buttons. Thank you Arcade World UK for providing such an excellent service. . . and improving my precision!

Seimitsu LS-40-01
Bought two of these to replace the stock sticks on my Pandora’s Box. What a difference! Great all round stick for fighters and shmups.

Amazing Stick
I tried 3 Sticks, Sanwa JFL default, 2lb, 4lb, KOWAL Acutator, the Seimitsu LS-32 also, but the best is Seimitsu LS-40-01 without a doubt.. Great throw range, no pivot popping issue like the LS-32. The trow range feels even better than my Sanwa JFL with KOWAL 1mm oversize actuator. Like always fast delivery, again guys from Germany.. Order here, you are much saver! Thx Arcadeworlduk !

Better than sanwa JLF
I just mounted this stick on my Qanba Q4RAF and the difference is huge. This stick is so much more responsive than the sanwa JLF. It fits perfectly for fighting games (tested on SF5, all moves come out easily). If you plan to mount it on a Qanba Q4RAF, you will need to remove the mounting plate, save the screws and fix the stick directly on the Q4RAF panel.

Best all-round stick
The ls 40 to me is the ultimate all round stick. It has a smooth pivot, tight action. Works great for fighters shmups alike.

Super Joystick für Beat em ups und alles Andere!
Glücklicherweise gab es hier bei Arcade World UK noch Seimitsu LS-40 Joysticks, denn ich wollte genau dieses Modell, da diese auch in vielen SNK Arcadecabinets im Einsatz waren. Da ich vor kurzem eine Picade gekauft hatte, wollte ich natürlich bessere Teile verwenden als den/die mitgelieferten Zippyy Joystick und no Name Buttons. Da es zur Zeit der Bestellung allerdings nur den LS 40-01 gab, haben diesen mitsamt Kabel und SE Mounting Plate bestellt. Passt total super und mit dem Kabel habe ich sogar noch etwas Zeit bei der Verdrahtung der Kontakte gespart, da die Masse Anschlüsse alle schon über die Platine zusammengeschlossen sind. Insgesamt kann man diesen Joystick nur empfehlen, hat kurze Wege und wenig Wiederstand. Alle Special Moves gehen damit leicht von der Hand. Ich werde mir auf jeden Fall Weitere bestellen.

Great stick and fantastic price
This stick feels very nice, quite tight, smooth and short throw, I have not tried other sticks yet but I'm really liking it and it's the best price I've found in Europe even when buying it with all the options.
