Custom JLF Springs

GeorgeC · 2012-07-22T03:50:20.000Z

So… I take it the springs are sized for JLF but wouldn’t necessarily fit the Seimitsu joysticks?
I think they would go around the thinner shaft Seimitsus but the issue would then be the spring retainer not being sized for JLF-type springs…

As expected the 2-6 are selling well, but who’s ordering the 9 lb springs, I want some feed back

I have one of the 9lb springs…all I can say it’s Ridiculous LOL I can’t play on it but My Brother was able too…He likes it but he finds to be a bit too much…He Likes the 6lb spring, He is currently using that. I’m using your 3lb with Kowal Custom Actuator for Short throw and I’m Loving it. Thank you For creating the Springs!

I just put a good two days into the 2lbs spring.
It’s not bad, but I felt like I would want to swap out the switches with the Cherry or Zippy kit, I’ll probably order the Cherry Kit next check (Do I need to order the harness separately?)
On the positive, I found that my IADs were coming out noticably lower and cleaner than I normally get them on my stock JLFs. my 2xQCFS and dashes came out consistently too (those aren’t an issue ever normally, but it’s worth note I guess)
On the negative, my hand cramped, really badly after four or five games. I also occasionally felt like I would move the stick and get right to where I would normally actuate the stick and then get hung up on the switch for whatever reason, I’m gonna grab one of the cherry kits next check and see if that makes a difference.

There should be no different in switch actuation as the actuator has not changed at all, or it’s relationship to the shaft and switches (we are doing new actuators, and expect them next month)

Keep us posted, we can get in springs that are finer tuned between 1 and 2 also!

New actuators! You guys becoming quite the custom shop.

armi0024 · 2012-07-22T06:12:16.000Z

over 100 custom products and counting

Could you stock ones that are 1.5 lbf? I feel like that would be the perfect spring for me

armi0024 · 2012-07-23T07:22:31.000Z

Definitely a possibility in the future

W00P_MstR_FresH · 2012-07-23T08:35:50.000Z

I ordered a 2# and a 3# along with some of your clear Sanwa centers a jlf zippy harness and lots of your other stuff.

You guys are great

Another vote for a 1.5 lbf spring option

I ordered one sample of each spring for testing. They’re excellent. I subsequently ordered enough to supply the entire local crew in NC.

Since you asked about the 9lb spring, GentlemanThief, a nationally recognized VF player, already mods his sticks to a similar level of resistance, so there -is- a market for that degree of tension.

I was going to suggest that you make custom actuators a la Kowal’s, but I see you’re way ahead of me. Any update on when those will be available?

1 more here too. I took a 2lb and cut a bit.

armi0024 · 2012-10-02T22:00:32.000Z

I can order 1.5’s with the next batch… Thanks guys for all the support!

Drift, we are doing the same things with actuators. I found a vendor and placed an order for incremental larger actuators in 4 sizes. I’m hoping they arrive in 1-2 weeks.

Tigerish · 2012-10-03T02:09:04.000Z

So the 2.0 would be like having two default JLF springs?

VirtualCosmic · 2012-10-03T04:29:05.000Z

Thanks!

When will the PAS JLF 9 lbf Custom Spring be available again? Thanks!

what should i get for sanwa jlf bat top along with 1mm actuator, will 2lb spring go well for this such tekken and street fighter ?

Since springs are cheap, and EVERYONE have different ideas whats comfortable, buy a selection of springs and try each one for your self.

This is my setup for my KI TE2 Sticks and it made a world of difference.
