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.
You will receive the following with your purchase:
Balltops and other mounting plates are available separately.
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

Super happy with the product!! The joystick is easy to install and it feels great. Inputs don’t drop anymore so I’m glad I can get back to my grind. Definitely recommend this to anyone who has broken/joystick problems. Derik on Jun 12th 2018
I have moded over 15 fights sticks for my self and friends, and one thing is the same. The JLF is the stick of choice for every project. It is aleays consistent same results and is solidly build. I higly recommend it Abel V on May 6th 2018
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
If you're looking to replace your worn-out stick with a new one, this is definitely recommended. Super responsive out of the box. Stone Nguyen on Apr 18th 2018
They're great, responsive, durable, clean, etc. I can't speak to other top brands, but if you're just getting into sticks, this will serve you much better than unbranded stock sticks. Much like the unbranded buttons, I would constantly be seeing doubles on my directional inputs. After installing this, a 2lb tension spring (good for gorilla style players), and an oversized actuator, I am hitting my inputs very cleanly every time.
Just remember that it won't make you a better player, it will remove one of many possible obstructions to becoming a better player.

I upgraded the standard stick in a Mayflash F500 to this, and it is a huge difference. My movements are more precise now. Thanks Sanwa and FA. Unknown on Mar 6th 2018
Competitive performance grade stick that will take you far. Raymond on Jan 24th 2018
This stick quite literally turned my old, beat up pelican POS into the envy of my small group of fighting friends. Our monthly meet up for PS2 age fighters was a COMPLETELY different experience with this stick in the mix. So easy to swap into any configuration and the wiring diagram with pictures made installation a breeze. I cannot state how much easier it is to pull off specials with a responsive stick.
