I examined bottom mount a JLW on 3/4 inch wood. the shaft is 24" mm is short. that’s not good enough.
A shaft 32" mm to 40" mm is good.
I totally forgot that Ultimarc had their J-stick version of the JLW. Good job pointing that out!

Does anybody know how to wire a Sanwa JLF-TP-8T to an XBOX 360 PCB? The JLF has 5 pins on the joystick, but the XBOX 360 PCB will have 8 wires coming from it (2 for each direction). What do I do with the spare wires? Also does the JLF need a power supply/source in order to function? Any help given would be great…I’m really trying to get this thing figured out before I decide whether to buy this or a JLW-TM-8. Thanks again.
get a common ground pad or buy toodle’s chip to hook up common ground joysticks (P360, JLF, LS-32-01) to non common ground pads.
Quick question: I just got my LS-32’s in. Do I need to use the dark blue gate on it, on top of the light blue square gate? In the stock position the dark blue is still pretty much a square gate.
Or break the traces on the JLF PCB and solder directly to the microswitches. Up to you.
I think about 0 Round Restrictor Plate for Sanwa JLF and any Seimitsu :annoy:
I want to make modding 0 Round Restrictor Plate.
I custom build 0 Round Restrictor Plate.
- use lexan a plexglass is unbreaken. 3"mm or 5"mm
That sounds like a great idea. Lexan all the way for that project :tup:
I have a JLW and it uses levered Microswitches similar to the Happ super, which makes it a bitch to hit corners. This especially affects my performance in Tekken.
I’ve been looking at pictures of the JLF, and I was wondering if it does or doesn’t have levered switches? If it doesn’t, whoever said that they were the same needs to get punched in the face as it totally changes the way you play.
Same thing with the seimitsus, can anyone shed some light on those for me?
JLF does not have levered microswitches. LS-32 does. Are you using a circular or square gate for the JLW?
You can take the dark blue gate off.
You can take it off. I don’t think it’ll do anything if you leave it on or off, but if you ever want to do 4 or 2 way, you’ll need that dark blue restrictor.
Thanks man, I think that just settled it for me, I’ll just go with a JLW instead. It has a harder spring than the JLF too wich is another thing I was looking for.
I had the square, but I replaced it with the Circular. Do they sell harder springs for the Japanese Joysticks separately like the Happ sticks? What Seimitsu sticks DONT’T levered microswitches, does the LS-32-01 use em? I know its just the PCB version but Im wondering if they’re any other differences.
Also Samurai, which one aren’t common ground pads? The PS1DS and 360 pads have common grounds I’m assuming right?
Nope. LS-32-01s and LS-32s are pretty much the same besides the PCB, so yes, they both use levered switches.
On the subject of the LS-32-01’s dark blue gate… has anyone else found that it sticks just a little bit into the movement area at the corners of the otherwise-smooth square? (Yes it is in the default 8-way position.) Are they supposed to do that or is mine a bit of a defect or am I just crazy? (It’s good to know I can take it off if I choose!)
Almost everybody has that problem.
I’ve got a question about Sanwa parts (stick and buttons) in a Tekken 5 case. Some have told me that they’d work fine while others have said mods are needed for them to fit. Could someone who has done that mod to the Tekken 5 stick clarify whether I can make that switch without modding the case itself.
In order to do the mod, you’ll need to mod the Sanwa JLF’s restrictor plate a bit (drill 4 holes) and file/grind down the metal stabs that prevent you from inserting Sanwa buttons.
Can the S mounting plates for Sanwa and seimitsu be used for each other? Im looking at the sanwa catalog and they have their own verison but its only 2 bolts one on each side. But also the Sanwa has a larger shaft, hwo would you recommend mounting/installing one?
I thought Seimitsu LS-32s had larger shafts, which is why you can’t use Sanwa shaft covers on LS-32s.
