It 's very annoying cause all Seimitsu are build with microswith with hinge (long for Ls-32/40 and short for Ls-33/55/56/58) , the difference between Panasonic’s hinge and Omron’s hinge are hudge :
For now the only Seimitsu with Omron microswitch is the Ls-60 and i dislike it , i can find correctly the diagonal with square gate and it’s almost impossible with octogonal gate.
At this point i fear it will be the same with next Ls-38…if Seimitsu does nothing more than change microswitch on their product.
All we know maybe their supplier of micro switches are changing.
Maybe their old supplier no longer up to the job or the facility sold their production to another company.
I used Sanwa switches in Seimitsu joysticks before with no loss in performance.
I try again Ls-60 last night and thre is a difference between diagonal…in fact one up is ok and the opposite doen’t work well…the same thing down but in reverse.
If you play slowly , it make the job…but if you need to be competitive , some random neutral jump + some missed blocks or cancel…it does not forgive.
