The 2lb tension spring for Sanwa JLF replaces the existing spring found in the Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT Joystick, or Sanwa JLF-TPRG-8AYT-SK Silent Microswitch Joystick, adding 1.1lb more force than the original. This results in a stiffer joystick, which is favored amongst some players who don't like the loose feel of the JLF. Using this spring, you no longer have to combine the original with a LS-32 to achieve the same level of tension.
Now you can save 35 cents on the 2lb JLF spring when you bundle it with the Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT Joystick, Sanwa JLF-TPRG-8AYT-SK Silent Microswitch Joystick, Sanwa JLF-TP-8Y-SK Joystick (No Plate Installed) or FA Nippon ALU battops. Just choose "Add 2lb JLF Tension Spring" from listing options.
My Qanba Q4 RAF, was way too loose for my taste, and so inneficient for playing bullet hell SHMUP.
Replacing the original 1 lbs spring by this 2lbs one, made for a much stiffer and reactive stick. Good if you play game that require fast and precise reaction. Be warmed though that it is significantly more physical to operate. Right now it is brand and I wonder if it will soften a bit over time.
Recommended rather than home made modification of the default spring, or adding an extra Semitsu spring together with the default spring. Getting this clean and robust 2 lbs spring feels a lot more cleaner overall, and relatively cheap too. Unknown on Feb 9th 2017
I like the way my jlf feels way more with the spring than without it Isaiah Rodman on Feb 3rd 2017
This is a mod if you feel your stick movements are too lone. Sometimes it's a little too stiff depending on the game. For me ultimate marvel vs capcom 3 it's too stiff but SF5 it's perfect. I wish there was 1.5lbs version. Unknown on Jan 27th 2017
If your wanting a little more resistance for the default Sanwa that comes in most Madcatz or similar joysticks this is definitely going to help by switching it out. It adds just enough to make it to where you can feel where it's going without accidental clicking. Keep in mind using a light weight top is still recommended since aluminum ones will need a 4lb spring or it will be too easy to push it again. Keith on Nov 16th 2016
So initially I didn't use the 2lb spring when I changed the JLF to silent and balltop to battop, but the tension on the stock spring felt really weak and loose. Now I'm not sure if this happens with all balltop>battop swaps but this worked perfectly. Taygun on Aug 10th 2016
Made the tension perfect on my Hori RAP 4 Silent. Was very easy to install. Unknown on Jun 23rd 2016
Debo decir que simplemente el estandar de las Sanwa JLF y Hayabusa es demasiado suelto, no tengo la resistencia que me gustarÃa. Probe el resorte de 4Lb para ambas palancas pero realmente me dejaron la muñeca adolorida, el de 2Lb para mi es la ideal ¡¡ ... en el caso de la Sanwa JLF agregando un Kowal overside actuator + 2lb tension spring quedo perfecta. En el caso de la Hayabusa, solo con el 2lb tension spring quedo bien ¡¡

I must say that simply the standard of Sanwa JLF and Hayabusa is too loose, do not have the strength I would like. Probe spring 4lb for both levers but I really sore left wrist, of 2Lb for me is the ideal ' ... in the case of Sanwa JLF overside Kowal adding a tension spring actuator + 2lb stay perfect . In the case of Hayabusa, only with tension spring 2lb stay well ' Cristian on May 25th 2016
so good!!! i had the 4lb one, wen back to the stock one, and then bought this one. PERFECT amount of resistance! must buy and I'm glad they came back in stock! Scott Yang on May 20th 2016
The difference between this and the stock spring on a JLF is like night and day. It takes a bit of getting used to but not a whole lot. The stiffness makes your stick feel even more solid than it already is. You'll be wondering how you put up with the looseness of the stock spring for so long. It just feels nice. Definitely worth picking up when ordering parts. Chipface on Apr 30th 2016
Great springs and a must buy ! I bought two springs and put it in each of my two madcatz fightstick and now they are better and stiffer than before. I highly recommend this product to anyone who wants more tension in their joystick. some random guy on Apr 7th 2016
