The Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT Joystick comes fully assembled with Sanwa TP-MA PCB Assembly, JLF-P1 Mounting Plate, and dual dustwashers.

Easy Install
Works like a charm, going to order another for sure. Nocturnal_Ctrl on May 24th 2016

Perfect performance and a workhorse!
I have used this is in my main build for 7 years and so far the only thing I have worn down is the spring. I ordered a new spring and decided to step it up to a 2lb spring and it is better than new! Consider ordering the octoganal gate if you are playing fighters. as well as the beefier 2lb spring. Fernando on Apr 4th 2016

The Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT joystick is a great fighting stick for any home cabinet! With lightning quick responce micro switches, it feeds and sounds like the arcades of yester-year. Great value and great product! Brian "VandelZ" Lovingood on Feb 25th 2016

Perfect
The joystick feels great. I much prefer this to the silent one due to the audible clicks. You can tell that you're hitting the right direction. It bounces back perfectly, and it delivers that authentic arcade experience. Unknown on Jan 14th 2016

Big Improvement
I was looking for an upgrade for my Qanba Q1 and I've always heard that Sanwa is the way to go. I've had about two months with the JLF and it took sometime getting use to because it has a shorter throw distance compared to the stock Qanba, but once I've got over it the motions were almost effortless. Its nice that they include a wiring harness but it was already compatible to the existing setup so I can use it for some future project. Small complaint though; the cam was over-lubed so it would stick sometimes but its an easy fix. Fair price and apparent quality, definitely satisfied. Brandon "Guts" Chandler on Dec 12th 2015

Good product, after taking it apart to fix it
The item was shipped very quickly, and the products components are good quality, although it is a little annoying that I had to take the thing apart to fix a sticking issue with it prior to using it. There is a washer under the switch board where the joystick goes through the hole (that's what she said), part of the stick was sticking to the washer whenever I rotated it (which was due to excess grease/lube), once I used a q-tip to remove the additional sticky stuff and put it all back together everything worked fine.

Excellent Stick
Ordered this to replace a basic stick on my Quanba Q1. Inputs are much crisper now. Never miss a DP anymore. TGRygo on Oct 29th 2015
