Those looking for further ways to accessorize your fightstick, opting to match colors across buttons and joystick lever, didn't have many options when it came to the standard joystick shaft.
Until now.
The Sanwa JLF Aluminum Standard Joystick shaft comes in several anodized colors, and retains the size of the original shaft. It is compatible with joysticks from the Sanwa JLF series, including TP-8YT, TP-8YT-SK, TPRG-AYT-SK, and TPRG-8BYT-SK.
The aluminum shaft matches the threading found in the stock shaft. This means that nearly all balltop and battop accessories that currently fit the standard JLF series shaft are compatible.
The Hori Hayabusa Joystick has remained popular partly due to its interchangeability with Sanwa JLF compatible components such as springs and actuator. Of them, you can also install this shaft. Our support contact Joey Wainwright shows you how to install the shaft in this article.
An advantage to aluminum is its low weight. With an equally lightweight balltop, you may find that an existing Sanwa or Seimitsu spring allows for proper return to center without bounceback.
