For many years before the newer and technically upgraded SANWA JLX-TP-8YT Joystick, Sanwa's premiere joystick was considered the de-facto standard in most Japanese arcade setups, and widely adopted in most commercial joysticks. Works with a wide array of Sanwa balltops, battops and Seimitsu balltops, including the Seimitsu LB-39 Bubbletop, Sanwa LB-35 Balltop, and Sanwa LB-30 N-S Battop.
The Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT Joystick comes fully assembled with Sanwa TP-MA PCB Assembly, JLF-P1 Mounting Plate, and dual dustwashers.
What's Included?
You will receive the following with your purchase:
- JLF-CD Dust Cover
- JLF-P1 Mounting Plate
Balltops and other mounting plates are available separately.

Great Stick
This stick has a greater throw and easier push than an LS-32. Upon arrival, the PCB assembly included had all 4 squeaky switches, so a minor issue which could be fixed with a little lubricant. Overall, my favorite stick to use for games like Tetris! TIG on Sep 10th 2018

Perfect for an Upgrade
This is perfect for upgrading an existing fightstick, or are looking to build a custom stick with an easy to use mounting plate. Upgrading to the Sanwa GT-Y Octagonal Restrictor Gate for easier Quarter Circles, or if you like to have notches for each step of movement! Unknown on Sep 3rd 2018

Tight Actuation, Light Spring, Excellent Quality
The actuator activates the switches with almost no movement. The switches themselves feel nice and tight. Very little bouncing with a stock balltop, some bounceback with the stock spring and a 45mm balltop. Drew D on Aug 20th 2018

Very nice
Very tight stick I can feel the difference than the qanba original. Other than one screw not coming off so easily off the plate so I can install the kowal 1mm it is perfect. Unknown on Aug 2nd 2018

industry standard for an arcade joystick, nuff said
if you're reading this you already know how important a joystick is to arcade game play. precision timing and quality standards are what matter most when i'm playing any arcade fighting game. the JLF is a tried and true standard for arcades, and is a vast improvement from cheap stock sticks. quality switches, precision molding, & can be modified (but perfectly fine left stock) Unknown on Apr 29th 2018
