   As described, I love this lever! Unknown on Sep 8th 2023

3. Can't go wrong

   Part of me regrets buying other Korean levers after I already had this one. Despite often being referred to as an "intro" or "beginner" Korean lever, after trying many other offerings, I firmly believe this is the best of the best. It fits in many enclosures, it is easy to transition to from Japanese levers, it works great in both 2D and 3D games and it is highly customizable and easy to tweak and fine tune. I can't recommend it enough.
   
   My personal ideal configuration for this lever is a 35a grommet and a DX bobbin. It is high enough tension for easy, snappy KBD in Tekken and low enough for fast movement in 2D fighters. Unknown on May 10th 2023

4. Awesome stick!

   I have a RAP4 Arcade Stick and I hate how the Hayabusa stick felt and after installing this stick, I immediately fell in love with it. This feels much more responsive and precise than the Hayabusa one and I can do my fast inputs much better with this stick compared with the other one. The only thing I don't like that much is that the stick is kind of stiff compared with the Hayabusa but I kind of got used to it. Really recommended if you play Tekken and do a lot of inputs (wavedash, backdash cancel, etc). Sebas on Nov 26th 2022

5. Seamless transition from standard JLF

   This is my first Korean lever coming from years of playing on a JLF. This review is targeted for those looking to transition from a Japanese lever to Korean. Installation was easy, except for figuring out the directions on each microswitch and matching the correct color from the .187 to 5 pin harness. For your reference, up = red, down = orange, right = yellow, and left = green. Aside from the wiring, mounting was a cinch on my Qanba Pearl.
   
   A discussion of grommets is paramount to those interested in trying a K-lever. It is what truly separates the two types of levers. The stock grommet that came with the kit is the white one, rated at 25A tension. This is a really, I mean really light tension grommet, as light as a JLF 1lb spring. I bought a 30A grommet for comparison and it already had much more noticeable tension. I was able to compare with a friend’s Etokki Omni. Not sure what tension the grommet was in that thing but it was super stiff! I was literally cranking the joystick. Not my cup of tea. I suggest ordering a few different grommets to experiment with yourself. If you play Tekken, you may find others tell you a stiffer grommet is best for the game. They are correct for the most part. Wavedashing improved dramatically when I went with the 30 grommet, but my KBD suffered. Since I don’t main Mishimas, I prefer to prioritize back dashing over wavedashing so I switched back to the 25 grommet.
   
   The Crown 309MJ is a great lever to get started with Korean levers and for its price I highly recommend it. Robert on Sep 28th 2022

6. Perfect Transition

   This is the perfect Korean stick to start off with as it has one of the best grommets already installed and you can feel the difference from a Japanese stick. Love it Unknown on Jan 14th 2021

7. Perfect fit in hori rap 4

   Will take sometime to adjust the tension. Overall a very fast last as compare to hori lever in rap 4 ossamah durrani on Nov 11th 2020
