Fitted this to my Hori Hyabussa joystick. At the same time I replaced the standard ball top with a baton top. I don't feel that the throw was shortened much. I wonder if the longer batton top has contracted the reduced throw via the 1mm oversize collar? I'll replace the top back to a ball and try. Anyway not very hard to install. No issues. Happy with it.
Pros: My Sanwa JLF w/ octagonal gate + AWUK Kowal actuator + AWUK 2lb spring = double precision. Great mod. Thx.
Cons: ABS dust appears quickly.
You just need to improve the quality of the plastic (ABS).
Essential mod for my hori rap hayabusa stick, trims the dead zone significantly for a snappier stick rotation.
i recommend this along with the kowal octa gate restrictor and a 2-4lb spring of your choosing
Absolutely mandatory for a octagonal gate with 2lb spring.
Installed this and the throw is incredibly small now and movement has became less effort. Fantastic.
A useful little piece of plastic that shortened the throw distance on my Hori Hayabusa stick. If you are upgrading a Hori stick it is recommended that you buy a Kowal Hayabusa Octogate with it as it may not work with the standard gate on the Hayabusa stick. Combine with a 2lb spring and you'll be laughing.
the actuator is exceptional and help to improve the speed of the inputs in a satisfactory way and that helps to better the execution of the game ... I recommend using a spring of 2lb or 4lb
Works almost exactly how I imagined it. I don't have to drag my stick as far as before to do an input, and it feels just right this way. The difference isn't massive between this and a normal one, but it's noticeable for sure.
It's great for me, with the addition of the other stuff I changed in the HRAP V Kai, it's like a totally different sick, in a good way!
