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 was first tipped off when the parts didnt fit in the standard hole size. On further inspection, I realized that these arent actually Sanwa parts. Sanwa parts made in Japan, but the packaging says theyre made in China.

theres no protective layer for the bare shaft of the joystick. i wish it had one. otherwise the item overall is in excellent condition.

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.

Easy installation and very responsive buttons

Work fine but one of the buttons had damage on them? It still works but sad that its so heavily scuffed out of the box. Im guessing its due to them cramming all the parts in a tiny box. Edit: updating this review. The scuffed button actually is broken. The actuator is not as responsive as the others giving it a completely different feel.

When I got the 8bitdo arcade, while never owning one before, I could easily tell that the experience could be better so naturally I headed to YouTube and was recommend this beauty and have no complaints.

The joystick is amazing, the clicking sound from a direction is exactly how it should be, very tight stiff stick. great product will purchase a 2nd for the next joystick i make

Great quality. Very sensible and responsive. Accurate diagonals.

I have been using consistently since purchase and it looks and works perfectly.

If you want quality japanese arcade components you cant go wrong with sanwa denshi parts.
