Korean arcade parts discussion

Awesome work

For anyone interested, Infiltration sticks are in. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1613051815422366&id=107961125931450

Hi, I have a question about the Fantas (Taeyoungs or Myoungshins) with Gersung A2 switches. How far does the shaft have to travel towards the collar before activating the switches for diagonals? 60%? 75% of the radius from the center towards the collar? I’m curious about ordering an Etokki Omni rev. 7 with the Taeyoung. I tend not to touch the corner of the gate in a JLF when doing QCFs.

Sanwa jlf is a square gate and the taeyoung will feel circular. Going to be very hard to compare the two of them with QCF. Since you don’t touch diagonal on the jlf doing qcf because the gate is square if you were to do that on the taeyoung you will be riding the collar for the full motion. To activate the switches on A2’s it’ll be about 35% and since korean joysticks generally have more tension compared to Japanese you can play with only touching the switches and never touching the collar.

I’m familiar with the feel. But my question is how far does the stick need to be thrown to engage the switches for diagonals?

Well I can’t speak for Taeyoung, but for Myoungshin, a bone stock one, the throw isn’t very far at all. The actuator is big enough to where you don’t need to ride the collar.

Now if you’re getting an Omni rev. 7, it comes with a Taeyoung, and I can’t really give you any input there. From what I’ve read in the past is that the actuator is smaller, but because the switches are closer. But I’ve also heard people using the stock Myoungshin actuator on the Taeyoung to help improve cornering. Yet I hear that involves some modifying because the Myoungshin actuator is a tad bit longer than a Taeyoung actuator.

If you scan through this thread, you’ll find @Agieze chime in about the Gersung A2’s (comparing towards Panasonic’s I think) with things like ā€œpre-travel before actuationā€. In terms of like, numbers. If that’s what you seek.

So I bought a Myoungshin Fanta from Makestick and it turns out the actuator is white and it’s smaller than it’s suppose to be. I thought it was from a Crown 309/309mj actuator that they probably messed up but it’s not. This white actuator will only fit the Myoungshin Fanta NOT the Crown. Is this how the new Fantas are now? Or is this an error??

Here’s the picture of it.

Try it again cause there’s no image of it

Sorry. This is a better picture.

And of course with the actuator being smaller…hitting the corner was super narrow. It’s pretty much unplayable.

Maybe it’s a new actuator from Myoungshin. Also just edit your post instead of replying over your own.

Maybe it is a new model but it’s unplayable though lol. The corner seems impossible.

I’ve been using these for the past couple of days, and I have to say, the new A3 microswitches are way better than the A2’s on my 309MJ. They’re more sensitive with better diagonals and execution in general. I’m with @stringfellow … it’s a good combination.

How small are the new Myoungshin actuator. I play on a 16mm golden actuator and I have no issues hitting diagonals. Though, I did swap out the A2 Gersungs with some Panasonic switches. I also heard the A3 switches work as well.

@rbuniao I’ll take picture and compare it to the stock 309MJ white actuator when I get home tonight. It’s smaller than the 309MJ actuator I think.

After modifying a JLF every which way possible and never getting exactly the feel that I was looking for I started doing my homework in this thread and decided to give the Crown 309MJ with the A3 switches a shot.

Finally! The feel that I was looking for. Now I get the hype about the Korean levers. My movement in Tekken is way more fluid, and I’m hitting electrics at will. I’ll never go back to a Japanese stick.

I would like to get in on the next round of Golden Crown however, I could see some benefits in a bit stiffer grommet. This does feel really good as is though.

@Snubnoze that’s a great lever, the 25g grommet really is too soft imho. you should try the crown conversion shart + sanwa battop for some extra ā€œspeedā€ (it’s much lighter than the default crown battop). I also like the feel/size of it more.

as for the A3 switches… focusattack made a mistake sending them with first-class mail instead of priority mail and i’ll have to wait a few more weeks for them to arrive. it went out of stock within a day or less, so I can’t even buy my way out of this :’(

Any spots for the golden crown kit open?

Testing these four out tomorrow https://gyazo.com/6f265b672ca43fe43cbb3bf68dbe7311

Blue one is the Kaze Lever, Red one is the Crown 309 Help me, Black one is the Myoungshin Fanta and the last one is the Fanta Airbag Lever
