Write A Review

1. Exactly as advertised.

   If you need a 2lb Tension Spring for Sanwa JLF ... you're in the right place, haha.
   Shipped quickly and performed perfectly. Tightened up a loose stick I had with it; now it is nice and snappy. loaf on Oct 31st 2024

2. Exactly what I needed.

   Really wanted to tighten up the pull on my arcade stick. This spring was the perfect tension change I was looking for. Fast delivery and easy install, I was hitting my neutral game with improvements in a couple days from purchase. Jerbs on Aug 23rd 2024

3. 2lb is the sweet spot

   Just enough tension and resistance and way better than stock JLF spring.
   
   Makes games like Pacman, Ms. Pacman, Mr. Do, Frogger, etc so much more fun to play. The stock JLF spring is too loose IMO and too many accidental hits. The tension on this is just right.
   
   Pair this with the 1mm oversized actuator and it's SHMUP heaven. I also put this combo in the JLF's on my Robotron cab and it's better than the OG 8 way WICOs.

4. A Likely Solution To Your Problems

   I'm not a fan of the stock 0.9lb spring of the Sanwa. A change of spring and actuator was recommended and while I prefer 1.5lb for the versatility, 2lb is basically perfect especially with the 1mm Kowal actuator pairing.
   
   Run this with an Otto V5 and you'll feel an immediate difference in stock parts to premium/bespoke/custom ones. Unknown on Apr 24th 2024

6. Juuuuust right

   Bought this to compensate for a 45mm bubbletop. Maintains stock spring feel with the added leverage and weight of the larger top. Thumbs up! Jay on Aug 2nd 2023

7. great upgrade

   my stick was too loose so i kept getting an extra, opposite input (if that makes any sense) like, i'd hop Frogger one way but then he'd hop right back when i let off the stick. this added enough tension to stop the stick bouncing back too far like that. thanks!!! Unknown on Mar 31st 2023

8. Great mod for the Hori Hayabusa

   Replaced the stock spring with this 2lb spring in my Hori Hayabusa and it made a great improvement imo. Thanks FocusAttack! Tyler on Apr 22nd 2022

9. Just the right amount of tension

   I grew up playing arcade games in the 80s and 90s, and compared to the old-school control panels I was used to the default spring in the Sanwa JLF series was just a hair too loose for my tastes. The 2lb spring gives it just enough pushback that it doesn't feel like your hand is flying all over the place, and is perfect for anyone who wants a tighter feel than the stock equipment provides.

10. 2lb Spring+ Kowal Octogate+ Kowal 1mm Actuator= Fun

    It made the Hayabusa joystick on my RAP4 even better along with the what I mentioned in the headline equals more fun I like it just as much now along with the other mods I added to my Hori RAP4 I might stock up on these springs cause the tighter stick along with the shorter throw from the 1mm Kowal Actuator and the Kowal Hayabusa Octogate it's a perfect match.
