Write A Review

1. Classic

   My old JLF finally starting conking out on me after about 11 years of service. Popped the new one in after replacing the actuator and it worked like a charm. Easy to install, good for years of play. Mikaul on Jan 1st 2021

2. Great stick

   Feels really good compared to other sticks I've used (I've used the Mayflash stick from the F300 and the Hayabusa lever from the Hori Rap N). It's nice and loose, but not too loose that accidental inputs are common. They happen sometimes, but extremely rarely, usually when I allow the stick the flick back to neutral without any resistance. Once I installed the octagonal gate, it became perfect. Unknown on Oct 6th 2020

3. Great Stick

   It’s a good stick, does what it needs to do and does it well. BUT it does come standard with a square gate and you should absolutely get a octagonal one with it. Josh G on Sep 27th 2020

4. Great stick

   Feels a lot better than the stock hayabusa lever on my rap n. Arrived sooner than expected too, so absolutely no complaints here. Unknown on Sep 23rd 2020

5. Buen joystick..sólo un detalle

   Me parece que es uno de los mejores joysticks, pero como jugador de KOF 98 y KOF 2002 recomiendo a todo aquel que compre este producto, incluir el resorte de 2 libras. Por defecto la palanca no es lo suficientemente 'tensa' como para ejecutar ciertos movimientos (ganchos) indispensables en estos juegos. Anthony on Aug 18th 2020

6. Favorite Joystick to use

   I prefer to use Sanwa products over Hori and Seimitsu. If you play street fighter or tekken this is what you want. One day I might try the korean style joysticks. All 3 arcade sticks I own are stripped and replaced with Sanwa joystick and buttons. I feel that the JLF series by Sanwa is the best money can by. When I switched from Hori hayabusa and Seimitsu, my executions of combos and moments where it counts it seemed that just simply switching to sanwa did the trick for my play style. Run a balltop for street fighter and a battop for tekken. Joseph on May 18th 2020

7. Solid and responsive stick!

   Great stick that I use for all the fighting and other 8 way games. I installed them under a 3/4" wood control panel in a 1/4" routed square with a 24mm hole. I also tested them in a 1/2" routed out square but liked the balltop sitting lower on the control panel and went with the 1/4" routed square. The 1/4" route also allowed me to use some M4 E-Z Lok threaded inserts underneath for a clean control panel top. The Focus Attack communication was great, as was their packaging, and they ship really fast! Andrew R. on May 2nd 2020

8. Standard JLF, what else can I say?

   Great stick, very well engineered and truly versatile in its customization options if you're into that stuff, can't go wrong if you're looking for your first joystick.

10. WAAAAAAAY better than the Sanwa/JLF Clones on amazon/ebay

    I have been building arcade machines for a while now and always used the Sanwa/JLF clones from Amazon and ebay and when I built myself my own cabinet I used the same and put 4lb tension springs in the joysticks. They worked just fine, no complaints. But I have a pretty good side business building arcades for other people so I decided to replace the joystick I always play on with a real Sanwa joystick and the difference was obvious instantly. It just "feels" a million times better, the movements are smoother and you can just tell the internal components are way better. Josh on Dec 11th 2019
