Kowal 1mm Oversize Actuator for Sanwa JLF Series Joystick

Write A Review

1. Indispensible, will never go without one again.

   Installed in tandem with a 2lb spring on my Sanwa JLF-TPRG-8BYT-SK. The difference was night and day.
   
   The biggest problem IMO with the standard Sanwa JLF is that the neutral and dead zones are simply too large. This item fixes both problems and makes the JLF feel more responsive.
   
   Double QCF motions became much easier and accurate and instant air attack execution improved. These are problem areas most players struggle with. While this problem doesn't solve the execution issues you may have, it does make them easier to work with.
   
   I will be upgrading every lever that can accept it with this item going forward. Unknown on Jan 21st 2020

2. A must have upgrade for Sanwa jlf

   The Kowal actuator is a must have upgrade for my Sanwa jlf sticks. Also works well with the Hori Hyabusa stick when used with the Kowal octagonal gate. Does exactly what the description says and now I can’t go back to stock actuators. Unknown on Nov 20th 2019

3. If you already have 4lb springs this isn't a huge difference

   I put 4lb springs also bought on this site in my 4 player arcade cabinet and then also added these. The 4lb springs made a HUGE difference. I am not sure I can tell much of a difference with theses added on top fo the 4lb springs. They aren't bad, but the 4lb springs was the real upgrade. Josh on Oct 2nd 2019

4. 1mm make the difference

   Installed on a hayabusa stick, fill perfect and yes, I can notice an upgrade in the motion execution. Carlos on Aug 29th 2019

5. Consistent Inputs

   I'm very happy on how this worked out for me. Neutral positions feels solid and I feel that my inputs are more consistent when performing half circle motions. Can't see myself having a stick without one anymore. Joe on Aug 26th 2019

6. If you don't have one try it out

   Try it out for yourself and feel the difference.
   
   Highly recommend getting if you've never used one before. Unknown on Aug 22nd 2019

7. Change.....

   This will definitely make your stick feel better and comfortable, you can do just frames more easily than ever, and do quick circles with this. Definitely a must for Tekken, I don’t Know about the others, It’s the same I guess also. I definitely recommend this product for modding. JustOTGFrame on Aug 20th 2019

8. Never Use A Stick Without It.

   The oversize actuator is perfect for quicker responses and fast inputs. My Dp's are cleaner and my IAD's are lighting fast. If you have a Japanese stick you should pick this up. Unknown on Jul 1st 2019

9. Great Alternative for Shorter Throw

   Originally, I was going to buy a Seimitsu stick because my Sanwa’s throw distance was waaaaayyyy to long. Finding this was the best thing that happened to me because I spent a little more than $4, as oppose to $20. This is better for Americans used to the Il/Happ sticks or even Korean sticks with shorter throw, but still with that Sanwa feel. If you’re a Tekken player, buy this with either a 2lb or 4lb spring. Trust me, the difference is night and day! Kaden “MetalKaden” Flores on Jun 30th 2019

10. No More Loose Sticks

    I've bought two of these and as far as I'm concerned, they are a must. They make sticks feel so much more responsive which helps most notably with movement (dashing, backdashing) but also with the speed at which you can pull of circular motions like QCF.
    
    I have one on a Sanwa lever and the other on a Hori Hayabusa, with octagonal gates. They are essential in my opinion. D. on Jun 29th 2019
