1. Looking forward to using this soon

   I'm still waiting on a couple of parts before I can use it, but it comes highly recommended to use an octagonal restrictor plate over the square gate.

4. Great drop in replacement for the square restrictor plate

   I'm old school, which means I grew up using a circle restriction joystick, not square. As I was making my own fightstick I was noticing that many joysticks that have circle restrictors had problems with the diagonal direction, which is necessary for fighting games. Finally, I tried this octo restrictor plate and noticed that the diagonal directions were the same as the square diagonal. Ok, so then I wanted to use a cone grinder to sand it circular. My concern was the n,s,e,w directions going too far and hitting the switch cases underneath the plate. I'm happy to say that this plate makes a great circular restrictor after careful sanding. The diagonals are easy to reach. After a year of using a square I now have to retrain on a circle, but I'm very happy with this. WildWPony on Jul 8th 2019

5. Perfect replacement for old Hori sticks

   I bought a ls-60 with one of this octagonal restrictors and swap the original stick for it but I found out that it fits the old stick like a glove so instead of changing the stick I just had to change the restrictor and the spring, great quality and feels great for all my needs.

6. Butter

   Easy swap from the square gate, the most ride-able gate. Throw those dragon punches, or blow something up (in space) Oxnard Montalvo on May 4th 2018

7. Great, smooth movement.

   I got this with my LS-56 as I prefer octagonal plates to square plates. The stick glides along this gate so smooth, and the octagonal shape makes most movements easier and feel natural to perform. Highly recommended if you like octagonal plates. Unknown on Aug 7th 2017

8. A must-have for shmups

   With the square gate, I was having trouble accidentally going diagonal too often. Having the ability to feel out exactly where your eight directions are is more helpful than expected, even if you don't always ride the gate. Feeling those notches helps you to "get your bearings".

9. Does what it's supposed to do

   Don't really have much else to say. For fighting games i prefer being able to really feel out those corners, but for other genres the octo feels very nice. Unknown on Nov 14th 2016
