The Great unkown Sanwa joystick
08/07/2020
This stick is the best Sanwa stick for SHMUP's and arcade style games. It comes standard with a square gate. Sorry there is no octaganal gate option on this one like there is on the JLF. The restictor gate can be rotated to a diamond i.e. 4 way or square i.e. 8 way pattern. The diamond 4 way pattern comes in handy for games like Pac-Man that only use 4 directions. I personally prefer it for fighting games as well but this is subjective. The stick has a stiffer spring, shorter throw and a smaller dead zone than the JLF. If you are a fan of the Seimitsu style joystick, the JLW is the closest stick Sanwa makes that has similar attributes. .
Best Of The Best

This Sanwa joystick exceeded my expectations. I was resto-moding an SNES Championship C&L KBM joystick and was looking to replace the worn out original components. The Sanwa four directional movement feels extremely smooth and responsive for fighting games. If you're a first timer looking to get into Sanwa, I highly recommend this model as it will bring a big smile to your face!
Note: The four directional configuration works best as opposed to the 8 directional configuration for fighting games.
Quality Joystick

I purchased this model after reading several recommendations from various forums. Very well-built, high-quality. I've purchased multiple items from T-Molding.com, and they've also delivered exactly as expected. High recommend!
