Smooth
No perceivable quality lost switching from the stock gate. Incredibly smooth circle gate. All the benefits and drawbacks you'd expect from a circle gate. Get a long throw shaft and a heavier spring if you want a more suzohapp/IL feel. Deadzone will be smaller than suzohapp/IL, but that's just a quality of the JLF. Do not get an oversized actuator if you want an american/european feel. Colin E on Nov 2nd 2026

Trouble with the corners
From FA: The part is designed to facilitate circular motion. As a result, it is not designed to facilitate corners. If you need to find corners more easily during gameplay, consider GTN Mod Type I, or Type II. When you try and hit a corner input you have to either push/pull real hard into it or find the 1/100in sweet spot. A lot of missed inputs but feels great kevin on Jan 3rd 2024
