Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT Joystick + Sanwa 8 pcs OBSF-30 Push Button Bundle Kit Color : White - for Arcade Game 4 & 8 Way Adjustable, Compatible with Catz Mad SF4 Tournament Joystick S@NWA

I purchased this controller and installed it in my new Pandoras Box video game system to replace the factory controller that was originally installed in the system. The Sanwa controller fit well and was easy to install, but the Sanwa controller did not change the control of games like Pac Man.

Joystick is great especially with a octagonal limiter, but the buttons are a bit weird for my taste but they have good build quality.

If you are building or modifying a stick, you cant do better than Sanwa for value and classic feel. I wont recommend japanese over korean parts, or vice versa, but japanese parts feel clickier and more standardized in a way. Look elsewhere if you are looking for the feel of korean machines.

The buttons had scratchs on them which made me suspicious of them been used, also the description said the stick was ready to move to an octogonal gate, that made me think it was included, and it was not. Also, it wouldnt kill you to include the 5 pin cable with female inputs on both sides, that ugly cable the stick has that needs to be welded is just useless for people with the 5pin plug on the board. If you are making a bundle make sure its mostly ready to install, adding 1 dollar to the bundle price with the cable included would be a killer. Be clear, I am not complaining about the brand (Sanwa) just the way this bundle is advertised and packed, not worth it. I got better value buying the stick (with the octogonal gate included), the buttons and the cable by separate, all looking new and I just spend a couple more dollars. As a bundle, this is not good.

Muy buena calidad y duradero

Installed it easily onto my arcade stick. Its quality was good for the first month. Way better then what my Qanba Drone came with initially. Yet it started to break down within the first month of not so heavy use. Ive used it for about three months now, and its in a borderline unusable state. I wish i had bought 2-3 off-brand ones instead of this. I wonder if it would have made a difference if i had bought it from sanwas own website.

Sanwa products are the best!! The only negative on my order was that the buttons were scratched and had to return them.

Order a separate 5 pin connector. The one that comes with is only has one side with quick connector. It shows that on the pictures of what you’re buying but for those that have never modded a joystick before you won’t realize you need it until you have everything apart. 4 stars otherwise would have given 5 since they look great and came nicely packaged.

All the clips on the cheap joysticks in my Pandoras Box retro arcade console had broken and rendered the console useless. Purchased a couple of Sanwa joysticks and buttons as replacments. It changed the experience entirely. The responsiveness is better than when the console was new. One note: the default configuration has the restrictor plate in 4-way mode. Most will likely prefer it in 8-way mode so dont forget to change the configuration before installing.

Unfortunately when I installed it; only Right control responded, went to disassemble it, noticed there was a lot of paste in each quadrant
