Original Newest JLX-TP-8YT Sanwa Joystick Authentic SANWA JLX Joysticks ideal for Arcade Jamma MAME game 12 colors available
Welcome to the new Generation: The Sanwa JLX arcade joystick lever achieves high-precision molding and improved input accuracy by changing the material of the joystick.
NEW MATERIAL CONSTRUCTION, PIVOT, SPRING SEAT WASHER, P-W ACTUATOR
The Sanwa JLX has achieved high-precision molding and improved input accuracy by changing the material of the component parts. Please review below some of the technical improvements over the JLF:
LX-P-2 M base material changed from nylon to POM (polyacetal resin). It is less susceptible to environmental influences such as temperature and humidity.
By increasing the thickness of the washer for the M base, rattling of the washer during operation is reduced.
Adjusted the shape inside the M base where the bearing fits. Less rattling of the bearing than before.
Changed bearing material from POM to nylon. Abrasion resistance and sliding against the M base are enhanced.
The material of the micro printed circuit board is changed from paper phenol to CEM-3. It is less likely to warp than paper phenol and has improved durability.
The Sanwa JLF P-W Actuator from the brands' JL-C line rounds out the list of improvements in the JLX. The JLF P-W Actuator is 16.2mm wide at the base - just over .4mm wider than the original Sanwa JLF actuator at 15.8mm. This is the same actuator used in the silent JLF-TPRG-8BYT-SK. It has higher dimensional stability in molding than the conventional black actuator and reduces variations in input accuracy. It is also it is about 0.12mm thicker (0.24mm in diameter) than the black actuator, but it was adopted because of its good usability by location tests and e-sports gamers.
JLF-P-W ACTUATOR
Below is a visual of available actuators for Sanwa JLF. The original JLF actuator has a 15.8mm diameter. Following this are actuators of increasing diameter. Use this to experiment with your preferred engagement sensitivity.
SANWA JLX-TP-8YT Joystick use JLF-P-W actuator for a better performance.
GT-8X RESTRICTOR PLATE
Sanwa introduced the GT-8X restrictor plate with its line of JL-C performance mods. This gate is now the default in the JLX.
Sanwa GTN-B Square Mod Type II Restrictor Gate Insert is designed for the Sanwa GT-8X Square Restrictor Gate and provides a unique feel from a typical square gate; its corners are rounded, offering a hybrid round/square approach.
THE ANATOMY OF JLX AND COMPATIBILITY NOTES
WIDE COMPATIBILITY WITH PRIOR SANWA ACCESSORIES
Certain components that comprise the JLX are compatible with the original JLF-TP-8YT. However, some are not. It's important to know this before purchasing individual parts in an attempt to upgrade the JLF. It is recommended that you do not perform this, as the mix of different materials may lead to a degraded experience.
