I guess the screw-in button will be easier to install.
In the layout description, is mentioned that Sanwa’s nuts will not work.
The OBSN-30, with nuts, has a diameter of 36mm while the PS-14-GN has 35mm.
The PS-14-GN will fits in this layout? Or any other sugestion?
I don’t have any preference between Sanwa or Seimitsu, so I’m open to any tips.
I guess this is the most appropriate place for this question. Does anyone know the type of joystick in Guilty Gear arcade cabinets, eg. GGXX Accent Core? On a sidenote, the rundown on the history of Sanwa and Seimitsu sticks by GeorgeC and Evil Samurai was nice. Good info.
ok how tense is the ls-56. Is it as stiff as a Happ stick. I’m trying to find which stick is best for me. I don’t like square gates and I hate sawna parts. I’m looking at ether getting the ls-32/56(octa gate) or a Happ stick. I mostly play kof and doing a lot of those motions are kinda odd for me on a square gate so I’m thinking that the ls-56 with the octa gate would be best because its not super stiff like the happ sticks but not loose like the sawan sticks. Also what type of mounting plate should i get if i want to put the ls-32/56 into a TE stick.
LS-56 is tenser than the JLF, about as tense as a Happ iirc (It’s been a long time since I’ve used American parts though). The distance to activate the switches is fairly short (slag coin says “medium,” it’s shorter than a JLF). I put an LS-56 in my TE and my HRAP1, and I recommend them to everyone I play with. To be honest, I’ve never used one with an octo gate, so I can’t comment on the feel. However, you may want to try it with a square gate before you try octo.
If you want to mount it in your TE, I believe you need the MS mounting plate. It’s a very easy installation in a TE, no modifications necessary with the right mounting plate, and the LS-56 is without a doubt, the best feeling stick I’ve ever played on. (I do want to try an LS-40 though.)
If you take an LS-56, put a bat top on it, and give it an octo gate, it does sort of feel like a very Japanese-like Happ stick. Or a very Happ-like Japanese stick, take your pick. They do have very different properties though; you’ll either love it or hate it. The LS-56 actuates more quickly and has a much shorter throw. The tension is higher in the iL EuroJoystick/Happ Competition.
Note that the figures for the LS-56 are for the square gate. The octo probably brings down diagonal accuracy a bit but does not feel much different throw-wise, maybe <1mm longer in the cardinal directions.
Does anyone know where to get replacement microswitchs. I think I need new microswitchs for my stick. I have a sanwa stick and it seems really loose as of late I don’t want to buy a whole new joystick for my stick. Has anyone else had the same problem where if there stick is in Neutral it wobbles around I’ve had my stick for quite awile now and it’s been affecting my gameplay I’ll get some miss imputs because of how loose it is. I can’t open up the stick atm because I don’t have access to a alan key so I can’t find out if all I need to do is tighten something up. Anyone have a solution? Also is there a difference between sanwa and siemitsu joysticks that is noticeable other then the balltop?
Ya I’m thinking I might not have put my stick together properly since last time I took it apart I need to open it up and see if I put that spring in there right or something.
ive been wanting to get a colored shaft and dust cover for my sanwa JLF and the only ones i can find that are colored are seimitsu…does anyone know if the shaft covers are interchangable? if not, do they make colored shaft covers at all for sanwas?
However, you need to modify them slightly.
What I do is take a drill bit (10mm?) and MANUALLY (by hand!) scrape some of the plastic out of the cover until it fits over the shaft.
Also be aware the colours of Seimitsu are very slightly different from Sanwa.
oh ok thanks that helps me out a lot…and def noted about the color difference i was thinking about getting a bat top just to see what its like anyway…i might as well get a seimitsu balltop
