USPS SHIPPING TO CANADA IS BACK! [ INFO ]
Restriction due to Canada Post Strike is lifted, plus info about restocking plans.
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.
I've never modded a spring on an arcade stick before. After trying a stick that was equipped with a 2lb spring, I really enjoyed the feel and decided to install my own.
What you're getting here is a very small spring, and no directions to do so. I followed a YouTube tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USg_JDcbXXI&feature=youtu.be) and installed it easily into my Qanba Obsidian.
The feel is great, and I feel like it helps me be more precise with my inputs in Tekken. All personal preference, but I love the feel of a more resistant stick. Travis on Jul 29th 2017
Simply put, if you feel your JLF is a little too loose, or youre afraid of accidental inputs due to the stick returning to neutral too hard, get this. Easy to install and it feels so much better. Tia on Jul 3rd 2017
this spring was exactly what i was looking for to get right feel with my joystick. i honestly think it helps with my combos in the games that i play. and for the price, you just cant beat it. and the only difficult part about installing it was taking the e-clip off the bottom of the joystick Unknown on Jun 2nd 2017
Really helped me get my movements down. The stiffness helped me feel things moving. Considering the 4lb now... Unknown on May 30th 2017
Works great for 3d fighters. Definitely does what you'd expect. I bought it to offset the aluminum bat top but ended up going back to my old spring and plastic bat top. It's just a lot on your wrist and fast (double) dashing is hard to pull off. But reeeeally good return to neutral, works great on TEKKEN and DOA. I think when I get my new stick (T7 Hori RAP) I'm gonna put it in there and use it for TEKKEN and my old RAP4 with stock spring for SF/KOF/SkullGirls/etc Corey Gravitt on Apr 10th 2017
The tension is quite good for 3D fighters such as Tekken and not to much on the stiff side for 2D fighters. Jason Scott on Mar 25th 2017
Installation took 5-10 minutes (my first time ever taking apart a Sanwa JLF). Only issue I ran into was that I didn't realize some other components of the stick would come apart once I removed the clip on the shaft. More of a rookie mistake on my part.
Overall, I like the feel of the resistance of the stick after adding this 2lb spring. I have a stick with the stock spring, and one with the 2lb spring, and the difference is very noticeable. With the stock spring, I had issues where the stick rebound would sometimes register an input for the opposite direction (e.g. flick the stick to the right registers a right then left input). Haven't had the same issue happen when using the 2lb spring.
I've been using the stick for 2 weeks now, and really enjoy it over the stock stick feel. Unknown on Feb 20th 2017
Adds a nice amount of tension compared to the Sanwa JLF or Hori Hayabusa. Unknown on Feb 17th 2017
I prefer the additional tension provided by this spring and I'm happy with the product. Brandt on Feb 13th 2017
I really like the extra resistance this spring provides, it makes all my moves fell more positive. Brian on Feb 10th 2017
