2. Great tension, but...

   ... if you are used to the sounds of your switches this might not be for you. You can add springs and actuators to get the tension of this stick. I put this particular piece in because my wife is a light sleeper, but it has taken some getting used to and I am still considering switching back to a "regular" microswitch because I miss the noise.

3. THE SILENCE ALONE IS WORTH THE PRICE

   If you live with room mates or have a significant other that isn't into the loud clicking then this is well worth it. This coupled with the button silencers help eliminate the loud clicks and clacks that travel through walls and floors. What you're left with is more of a muffled sound that doesn't disturb those who live on other floors and are in other rooms.
   
   As for the mechanical operation, it works like a charm. Not having the sound from the microswitches really bothered me, but now I have now issues at all. The stick does seem a bit tighter than the base JLF, but you get used to it very quickly.
   
   There's absolutely no buyer's remorse here. Unknown on May 12th 2020

4. Much pricier than the standard JLF, but delivers what it promises.

   I have a Qanba Drone and the stock lever and buttons are mushy and loud and the noise reverbs in the plastic body. I swapped them with a full set of Sanwa OBSFEs and the silent JLF.
   
   The JLF is amazing, it has a higher tension than the standard (as if you added in the 4lb spring) but once you get used to it, its a joy to use. The only sounds you get are from the actuater hitting the gate, but once you learn how to control your movements with the stick it will be essentially 100% silent compared to a standard lever.
   
   My drone is now completely silent. I would recommend this JLF. Unknown on Dec 16th 2019

5. Worth the price

   I've never liked the clicking of JLF sticks - I know some love it. I was excited about a silent option and this one didn't disappoint. I also needed a silent option to keep from disturbing the people I live with.
   
   The higher tension is a change for anyone used to traditional JLF and has definitely forced me to relearn a bit, but after adjusting I actually prefer it.
   
   The stick is much quieter by comparison - the switches still make noise but it's highly muffled and inaudible to anyone not sitting close to you. You will hear the stick banging against the gate; that's not going away, but it's still muted compared to the sound of switches.
   
   Overall this will be my go-to stick, despite the price. It's much quieter and I prefer the tension for motion movements. Unknown on Oct 1st 2019

6. A little pricey but I needed something silent.

   If you hate the click noise from other JLF sticks and have tons of spare parts laying around just for JLF's then this may be worth a buy. I recommend making your own dampeners for your buttons or buying some to make everything quiet if you do not have any already.
   
   This stick feels a lot smoother to do half circle, quarter circle rotations compared to a JLF-TP-X-X.
   I did not like a larger actuator despite trying multiple sizes I got from other vendors with this stick despite loving it on my last JLF. The one it comes was just fine for me. Unknown on Sep 23rd 2019

7. Trusted Name

   Since starting my new custom stick project I had wanted to experiment with different sticks.However, in the end I decided to stick with sanwa because they're a trusted name. This stick is works very well just like previous iterations. I did knock off 1-star because all the way it is advertised as silent. The sound of the stick rubbing against the sides is just as loud as clickier sanwa sticks.
   
   Overall, it is still a very good stick and would recommend it to anyone needing a replacement or building new. Unknown on Apr 22nd 2019

8. A silent must !

   Was tired of clicking noises filling the room. This suits me perfectly. Super silent and efficient. Ive added the 4lb spring. Works like a charm. Totally recommend it. Marc L. on Apr 18th 2019

9. Pleasant Surprise

   I was really worried about the "silence". Thru years with arcade sticks, I've come tor really enjoy the "click" of standard switches.
   Once I got over the silence, I found the stick exceeded my expectations and feels amazing. Unknown on Mar 7th 2018

10. Precise and Silent

    This joy stick is the best ive played on. The response and feel of the stick is exactly what I was hopeing for. The microswitches are silent but still have that feeling and reaction of click switches. I added a different tension spring to the stick to make it feel sturdier and take a beating.
