Crown/Samucksa Knee Lever - Neo Edition

DRX | Jaemin "Knee" Bae's legacy as the undisputed all-time best pro Tekken player in the world has begun to spread to the western continents.  In 2019 alone, KNEE has won or placed high in no less than ten (10) Tekken specific events, including EVO Tekken, Tekken 7 World Tour at Combo Breaker, World Showdown of ESports, and Japan Mastercup 11 Championship. 

These achievements were done in part by his own custom lever, which features a number of components designed with his and other pro Tekken players feedback. The KNEE lever NEO wraps these unique characteristics into an attractive package inside and out.

Compatible with Sanwa Mount

The KNEE lever NEO possesses a low profile 35mm collar. Its multi-mounting plate has holes to install in Sanwa-compatible Fightsticks that have enough body clearance.

Tension via Rubber Grommet, Not Metal Spring

Additionally, there is no tension spring. Instead most Korean levers use a rubber grommet placed in the housing.  This surrounds the shaft, and a plastic or Delrin bobbin keeps shaft in place.
