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 10th 2019

Always a fantastic buy
In my opinion there's not much better than a regular old sanwa JLF lever. Mine came in perfect condition from FA. Thanks again JollyPhobic on Nov 20th 2019

The Only Way To Play
I'm most definitely a sanwa guy. anything else, to me, just doesn't feel right. The JLF fitted with an 8way gate is my preferred way of playing and i recommend it to everyone. Easy to mod, easy to use, feel very natural in your hand, smooth action. Sanwa all the way. Mike on Nov 2nd 2019

Great Stick
Got this as a replacement for my stock mayflash 300 stick and the difference is like night and day. Just a overall better feel in terms of control and accuracy with movements. Highly recommend! Unknown on Aug 22nd 2019

Too loose for me
Don’t get me wrong, this is a great stick, but personally, I think it’s too loose. I plan on upgrading to an optical lever, but this will do for now. Kaden “MetalKaden” Flores on Aug 21st 2019
