I felt exactly the way you did when I bought my TE. Sanwa is just way to sensitive. I bought 6 PN-14-GN’s and never looked back. Imagine Sanwa without and that crazy sensitivity. You can actually need to press down to activate the button, but it is still very very responsive. I’d highly recommend buying them.
are seimitsu buttons modable with 5mm lights and can i put the art work i remove from beneath them in them
sorry the seimitsu transperent buttons
are seimitsu buttons modable with 5mm lights
are seimitsu translucent buttons modable with 5mm led lights
Whatever size LED you can work with.
However you want to mount.
thanks for the help are there any links or examples for led mounting in seimitsu buttons. i also need a suppllier
for led’s
This.
Or this.
And what other creative ways.
where would i buy the led’s
Oh, come on… I never got used to those Japanese stick, even after 2 years of hard playing…Anyway, I simply adore the smooth and click-free movement of my X-stick, especially when doing a 360 or a 720, and every other Happ-like stick.I played Street Fighter 4 on my X-Arcade Tankstick, but getting it to work is quite a tough job.Now, I got a HRAP 3 with SANWA OBSF-30, dark grey, and a SANWA JLW-UM with a blue battop.Many times my charge and dash (back and forth) results in a circle, either a quarter, or even a half one.I got my stick set to 8 directions, and someone over Youtube suggested that us guys who are quite used to American sticks should use it that way.In the same time, many people insist that SF IV is meant to be played with a 4-way stick.I think my stick is adjustable, but I might be wrong.So, my questions are:
1.Is it really 4/8 way adjustable ?
2.How would you suggest SF IV is best to be played- 4, 8 way, or even a circular gate ?
3.Is it true that the JLW totally sucks and got discontinued (acording to a Youtube opinion I did once read)? For my taste, the JLF totally sucks, especially in Mortal Kombat 1 and Street Fighter 2, it is totally unusable…
Yes, Sanwa JLW-UM-8 is adjustable.
It is not discontinued.
Sanwa JLW-TM-8 is discontinued.
SFIV is IMPOSSIBLE to play in 4-Way.
You know that 4-Way is only UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT?
How will you play?
Just do Flash Kick and Sonic Boom the whole time?
Hadoken won’t work.
People who say play SFIV with 4-Way don’t know anything.
All you can do with 4-Way is Jump up and walk left and right.
Cannot even Block.
Because to do Block, need to do DOWN+BACK.
4-Way can only do UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT; so can’t do anything.
4-Way for games like Pac-Man and Donkey Kong.
Thanks, man…I Think the Madcatz SF 4 Tournament edition stick uses a 4-way SANWA JLF-TP8, and many people claim the game was meant for a square gate.So I don`t need an octagonal one, since mine is adjustable, what is a difference, or am I missing something here Any ideas how would it be with a circular gate, GT-0 ? I had one and lost it, but on MAME and older games, it was quite impossible to do the right moves.SF 4 has like 100x better input handling and response, but, anyway? (Thank you all, I got som many questions :lame::china: )
A square gate is 8 way, that is the point jdm is making:
Yes, what brighenne said.
8-Way as a Square (four sides):
8-Way as an Octagon (eight sides):
8-Way as a Circle (zero sides):
4-Way as a Diamond (four sides):
4-Way as a Plus-shape:
The number of sides a shape has does not mean how many directions a Joystick can move.
Square, four sides, does not mean only go four directions.
Wow, what a nice explanation, if I only knew what do those percentages mean… I noticed that, when with a JLF and a square gate, hitting the diagonals is a total bit#$^. Another question, I have the Seimitsu LS-32 and it is also adjustable, I think so, and I like it more than the JLF, but I cannot tell if I like it more than the JLW.Although it is a matter of taste and habit, how would it be with Street Fighter 4 ?
Is there any way of doing it the other way around? Ive got a virtua stick high grade on the way. I love the look of this stick with the dark hai buttons but I prefer the feel of seimitsu’s. Can you put ps14g switches in a sanwa button?
Cannot.
It looks like the percentages represent how much of the stick’s traveling distance is active for a certain direction. Notice how the percentages on the square gate are even? That means that the stick has to travel the same distance to activate any microswitch. The octagonal gate has better rotational motion because the corners are less defined, but the activation points aren’t as balanced as the square gate and you’re going to find that you have to move the stick a little farther in order to get it to respond. Make sense? Mathematically speaking, hitting the diagonals on an octagonal gate will be slightly harder because the activation area is smaller, but technically it may feel easier because of how the stick naturally rolls through the corner and doesn’t get caught like it would on a square.
The LS-32 is a good stick too. AFAIK, the the spring is a little bit harder and the distance the stick has to travel is slightly shorter. The differences between JLF and LS-32 are a matter of preference really, and it would also work well for Street Fighter, but it sounds to me like you’re not used to japanese sticks in general.
You can get an American stick feel by putting on a bat top and octagonal gate, if that’s what you’re more comfortable with.
