Please note: You do not need to purchase a separate restrictor gate for this insert. It is designed to work with your Sanwa JLF's existing GT-8F gate. It is not compatible with the Sanwa JLF-TPRG-8AYT-SK Silent Microswitch Joystick, as the restrictor plate does not allow swapping an insert. You may try purchasing a GT-8F plate for that model however. It is not compatible with the newer Sanwa GT-8X Square Restrictor Gate.
The Sanwa GT Y Octagonal Restrictor Plate is one of our most popular products. Players love the smoother, circular motions that this product offered. The actual clear plastic gates themselves, however, are already installed in most Sanwa JLF series joysticks as the Sanwa GT-8F 4/8-Way Restrictor Plate.
Every Sanwa JLF-series Joystick, including Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT Joystick or Sanwa JLF-TP-8Y-SK Joystick (No Plate Installed) comes with the Sanwa GT-8F restrictor plate. This clear plastic plate houses a square-shaped insert that allows for up, down, left, right and diagonal movement. While effective, it doesn't feel as natural when attempting to perform quarter-circle, half-circle, or full-circle (360-degree) motions. These motions are common in most fighting games, which a square gate cannot reproduce easily. The translucent yellow insert, which contains the octagonal guide, is the most important part. If you already own the GT-8F restrictor plate on every Sanwa JLF, buying another just for the GT-Y insert seems like a wasted purchase.
The clear GT-Y insert we offer is molded with the exact same specifications as the yellow insert available in the official Sanwa GT-Y, and works just as well. Hadoken, Shoryuken and Spinning Piledriver attacks are fluid and easy to perform.

The best work around for whole octagonal gate!
Ok then the title says it all the best work around it seem like the comming of 5 means most popular hardware for fightsticks are on back order. The information given for modding fightsticks is plentiful so do your research and you will find this wonderful cheap product that will help you mod and bring your game up to proper levels. All I can say is this works and easy to install it's not a gold color but you can't see it once it is installed but you can feel it.My execution is significantly increased over the stock square gate that came with my TE2+ ps4 so dont miss out and order more then one not because they fail but because you will want this product in all of your fightsticks. And once fighters all over the world learn how easy these are to install this item will be on back order as well. So order install and be amazed and for Gods sake rise up and fight I am better then I was with a square gate order this and get the execution without the cost and backorder problems!

Awesome for Shoto characters and just in general
The octagonal gate was a breeze to install on my MadCatz TE 2 fightstick. It works as designed and I've gotten much better at throwing fireballs and doing other quarter circle moves. You can feel the octo points on the gate and I like it more than square gates where I felt like I was being blocked from completing movements. I highly recommend this even if you're just starting out with an arcade stick. Regardless of what people say you can still use charge type characters with this gate. Enjoy the freedom of movement!
